Delilah, does not return with wood pulp, but brings back three contracts. Acting within the scope of her authority, she contracted with Evon, who knew your identity at the time; Felipe, who knew that Delilah was acting on behalf of someone but not whom; and Giorgio, who did not know that Delilah was acting on anyone’s behalf. For which contracts, if any, are you liable? For which contracts, if any, is Delilah liable? Explain.
During my reading I learned that whenever an agent acts with actual or apparent authority then their acts are imputed to the principal. In this situation Delilah’s contract with the other two individuals (Evon & Felipe) would be binding on the employer. However the contract with Giorgio wouldn’t bind with an employer because Delilah did not give the identity of her agency. Just because she didn’t return with wood pulp she would not be penalized because her job was to simply secure sources.
Another employee of your paper mill, Hotspur, steals a shipment of wood pulp for your company to impress you with initiative to secure new resources for free. Unfortunately, he runs down a pedestrian crossing properly in the crosswalk on his way back to your factory, injuring her. If the pedestrian sues your company can there be a recovery for the injury?
Initially, organizations whose representatives hurt somebody while acting inside of the extent of their obligations are frequently considered in charge of the terrible demonstration of a worker. Second an organization may likewise be considered in charge of a worker's awful demonstrations in the event that it were demonstrated that the organization procured a representative without adequate foundation data to decide the worker's wellness for occupation. As such, procuring somebody heedlessly is carelessness, and being careless in the enlisting procedure would open the business to some obligation in your situation. Also, if the business has been careless in its contracting of the representative, it would not make any difference whether the worker acted as per his or her occupation both the organization and the representative would bear the obligation.
You are an employee at a nice paper mill and want to impress the boss by burning the midnight oil (but not too close to the wood pulp). For four consecutive weeks, you work forty-five, forty-two, thirty-nine, and thirty-one hours. If you are a nonexempt employee covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act, how many hours of overtime pay, if any, would you be entitled to? What would be the rate?
Initially knowing that an non-exempt employee under the Fair Labor Standards Acts of 1938 must be paid up to $7.25 a hour and work up to 40 hours a week. Also knowing that any hours worked after 40 hours per week must be paid 1.5 times to that individuals regular pay rate.
So in this scenario the worker is qualified for his or her week by week compensation of $290 every week for two weeks. Likewise, he or she is qualified for additional time pay of $54.40 (5 hours x $10.88) for the first week, for an aggregate of $344.40; for the second week, utilizing the same figuring his or her pay is $290 (consistent pay) and $21.76 (2 hours extra time), for a sum of $311.76. For the second two weeks, on the other hand which the representative does not work the standard 40 hour week, his or her compensation depends on 39 and 31 hours at $7.25 an hour. https://everest.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781285415253/pages/78955679 Cengage Advantage Books: Business Law: Text and Exercises, 7e, 7th Edition
