Compensation Discussion

1. Although tort law is generally concerned with striking a balance between the desire to provide compensation and the desire to protect socially useful activities from liability, that issue is particularly important in the context of the tort of negligence. Why? 2. How will a court decide whether or not a duty of care will exist in a particular case?

University of West Alabama Investment Bank Business Law Discussion

Question 1 You are a woman who has been working at the same company for 10 years and came right out of college as a financial analyst. Men who were hired at the same time, in the same position, with the same credentials, were paid 25% more on average. You discover this in conversation with a male co-worker today. You go to HR and explain that this violates the Equal Pay Act. HR tells you that since the original lower pay happened 10 years ago it is too late to do anything. Is HR correct and explain why or why not? Legal Issue :  Is there a case for violation of the Equal Pay Act (EPA) Requirements of the Law :  Under the EPA and specifically the Lily Ledbetter case, while the time is limited to file under the act, each pay period that unequal pay is made, starts the clock again. This means that even if the unequal pay started 10 years ago, if it is continuing today, than there still is a valid claim under the Equal Pay Act. Analysis/Decision: HR is not correct and you can bring a lawsuit. Question 2 You work in an investment bank and there is a lot of sexual talk and jokes that people (both men and women) send via email to everyone in the department via a distribution list. It happens on a daily basis. You basically try to ignore it and don’t open the emails up, but still find it offensive. One day you decide that you have had enough and forward one of the emails to your supervisor. He immediately calls a department meeting to tell everyone to stop this practice or they may be fired. He also reminds everyone that they have been through sexual harassment training twice this year and this was specifically addressed. The emails continue to circulate (you supervisor is not on the distribution list). You decide you can not work here any longer and quit but file a sexual harassment suit for a hostile work environment with the EEOC (your employer has 15 or more employees). Are you likely to win and does the company have a valid defense? Legal Issue:  Will you win a lawsuit for sexual harassment? Requirements of Law:  Repeated instances of unwanted sexual talk, images, or behavior that make it difficult or uncomfortable for you to work there (a hostile work environment). The employer defense is that the employer took precautions and had a process in place to handle such claims, and did so quickly, and that the employee failed to use the process. Analysis/Decision: While the employer did have a process in place and appears to have quickly tried to address the problems, it still hasn’t been resolved. The key here is that the employee did use the employer process, which negates the employer defense under Faragher/Ellerth. You will likely win. Question 1 2 PointsYou work in a production facility that is very “blue collar”. It is a bit of a rough environment but you knew that when you accepted the position. In the area of the factory that you work, there is a group of employees (both woman and men) who make comments back and forth to each other about who is the “hottest”, who has the best body, and who “sleeps around” the most. So far none of the comments have been directed at you personally, but it makes you very uncomfortable at work. You got to HR and report the situation but they don’t take action because the comments aren’t targeted at you and none of the other employees have complained. If you bring an action for a hostile work environment, will you succeed? Legal Issue:Requirements of the Law: Analysis and Decision : Question 2 2 Points1.Sacred Heart has an issue. Due to the popularity of the Nursing program, there are significantly more women than men at the school. In an effort to achieve a better balance, Sacred Heart is launching a number of programs intended to increase enrollment for men. You are a woman who is not accepted at the school, even though you have higher grades and better overall qualifications than many of the men who were accepted. You sue based on a claim of gender discrimination. Will you win? Legal Issue:Requirements of the Law: Analysis and Decision: Question 3 2 PointsYou have been put in charge of hiring for new positions in your company. The job requires the ability to code in Python (programming language) and a degree in computer science. Since the client for this project is based in Japan, you decide to require the individuals to also speak Japanese. Several individuals from different ethnic backgrounds sue based on disparate impact. Will they wil? Legal Issue:Requirements of the Law:Analysis and Decision: Question 4 2 PointsYou take a job as a salesman for a software company in Florida. Your territory is limited to the state of Florida and part of Alabama. You do not have an employment contract but are still asked to sign a non-compete. The non-compete prohibits you from accepting another sales job in the states of Florida and Alabama for 3 months. Your brother runs a beer distributor and hires you to manage sales for the southern region which includes Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida. Your old company finds out about this and sues to prevent you from taking the position. Is the non-compete enforceable and explain why or why not.Legal Issue:Requirements of the Law:Analysis and Decision: Question 5 2 PointsI’m an independent contract working on the hockey rink here at Sacred Heart. I was contracted by the company doing the construction but I’m a carpenter who does other work beside this project. I think it’s funny to yell sexual insults at students when they walk by. You report this activity to Sacred Heart. They tell you that since I’m an independent contractor there is nothing Sacred Heart can do to stop it. Is that correct? Legal Issue:Requirements of the Law:Analysis and Decision: Question 6 2 PointsRichard is an employee of ABC Corporation and is called for jury duty in Wayne County, Michigan. His immediate supervisor, lets him know that he “must” avoid jury duty at all costs. Richard tells the judge of his circumstances and his need to be at work, but the judge refuses to let him avoid jury duty. He spends the next two weeks at trial. He sends regular e-mails and texts to his supervisor during this time, but on the fourth day gets a text message that says, “Don’t bother to come back.” When he does return, he is told he is fired. Does Richard have a cause of action for the tort of wrongful discharge? Legal IssueRequirements of the LawAnalysis and Decision Question 7 2 Points1.I am a manager at your company and supervise 25 people. I am considered rude and abrasive but my division has the highest per person revenue numbers in the company. I do not believe in religion so I make fun of all religions (Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, etc.). I also make fun of everyone’s appearance and rate employees on their looks, their masculinity (if they identify as men) and their feminine traits (if they identify as women). I defend my behavior by stating that I’m rude to everyone, so I’m not engaging in discrimination. Is that correct? Legal Issue:Requirements of Law:Analysis and Decision: Question 8 Question 9 2 PointsYou are an employee at will and work in marketing at a major company. You completely disagree with the way that the company spends its advertising dollars (they still put advertisements in newspapers and don’t put any money into online advertisements or social media) and company sales are starting to go down considerably. You find this completely unacceptable and in meetings you criticize this, call it incompetence, etc. You are fired. You then bring a lawsuit for wrongful discharge. Will you win?Legal Issue:Requirements of the Law:Analysis and Decision: Question 10 2 PointsYou are a person from a very conservative religion, which does not permit members to where anything other than a white shirt (or blouse), black pants, and black shoes when out in a public place. You apply for a job at a fast food restaurant where everyone is required to where a uniform. You request an accommodation for your religious belief and part of your argument is that what you where has nothing to do with how good of a server you are. Will you win a religious discrimination lawsuit? Why or why not?Legal Issue:Requirements of the Law:Analysis and Decision: The LEGAL ENVIRONMENT of BUSINESS TEXT AND CASES Tenth Edition CROSS […]
