Dr. Boseman Case

A patient with the flu named Jeff asks Dr. T if he can get an antibiotic. Dr. T knows that an antibiotic will be useless against the flu. Dr. T usually tells her patients to rest and drink fluids to fight the flu. But after explaining the situation to the patient, Jeff still wants an antibiotic.

The first lesson we learnt was the importance of treating employees fairly, especially in terms of wages. Employees who are content and treated fairly are productive and will evidently drive the bottom line of the company. Their productivity will be high, knowing their wage is reflective of their work and they feel valued in the company. Not only did employees experience pay dissatisfaction if they perceived their pay as unfair, they were also less motivated to achieve the organization’s goals. (HRM 212) In Quarter 6, we increased the wages for Level 3,4, and 5 workers. However, we received feedback that notified us that our Level 1 workers

Mr. Boseman did show a form of sexual discrimination, which was determined by him not paying Julia Kate the same as the other three men in her office. Kate’s letter is asking for her pay to be reviewed and changed so it is not showing discrimination in her work. I agree that some people should be paid based on their qualifications and responsibilities. For example, “rational (and legal) compensation systems set and adjust pay levels based on a number of factors, including the credentials, experience supervisory responsibilities, and of course the job performance of the incumbents” (Thorne, Ferrell, & Ferrell, 2011). If the job does not list that you have to have a particular degree to do the job, the individual that has a degree should not

Yes, this is a direct violation of Equal Pay Act. The EPA states that there should not be pay discrimination based on gender (Fredrickson, 2015). There is clearly pay discrimination toward the female employee. Ms. Julia Kate performance has been outstanding and she is clearly qualified for the position she holds. The organization has recently hired a male making $10,000 more than Ms. Kate without giving her a raise or a reason to the significance in the salary difference. Also, the counseling center recently hired two unlicensed males that start off making the same salary that Ms. Kate makes and she has been employed with the company over six years. Following some of the responsibilities and performances by Kate, it is clear that she has

In the case of the pregnant female, the small group of employees concern about a safe work environment and the older male employee that believed that his department is discriminating because of his age can be managed by minimal actions and there are no national laws are being violated. The company and HR manager should respond immediately to the allocations and contact the employees, instantly to let them know that their concerns have been received by the HR department and they will receive a reply within the next week.

1). The reason as to why it is an inequality, not an equity case is that it addresses the issue of discrimination based on gender as mentioned by CBC News (2012) “Walden said that for decades women like her have been paid a lot less than men who do similar work.” (para. 5). It is an example of inequality as female nurses were underpaid for performing the same job as males that contradicts the principle of accommodation. In other words, it is a case of gender inequality where the issue is that of discrimination as women were not treated with respect and consideration as well as were unable to participate on an equal basis on the labour market. It is different from previously discussed case as this case is about equal pay in the same line of work, whereas previously discussed case is about equal treatment throughout different spheres of employment. To summarize equality, Dworking (1981) stated that equality is “...welfare linked to that sort of theory holds that distribution should attempt to leave people as equal as possible in some aspect or quality of their conscious life” (p. 192). Therefore, it could be argued that

According to question three, Tuckman claims there 4 stages all groups go through, and the Carl Hayden robotics team is no exception. The first stage is forming. The group formed for many different reasons, a few including, Dr. Cameron was drawn into the group via attraction to group goals. Oscar needed someone to sponsor the group who had experience in engineering. Oscar successfully recruited Christian through interpersonal attraction. Luiz joined simply for the fact of fun. Lorenzo joined for the most unique reason, because he had to. His forming story falls under the “miscellaneous” needs as he was simply trying to clean his record.

The introduction of this new bill The Gender Advancement in Pay Act is wonderful news. Senator Ayotte’s submission of this bill is to be commended. This bill will address the unequal pay of women and states women should receive the same pay as men doing the same job. Women have been fighting for equal rights for many years. The introduction of this bill spotlights gender inequality related to salaries and provides hope to millions of women who deserve to be paid for their quality of service. The fight for equality is as old as our country; it seems people have a hard time seeing their fellow country man as their equal.

The job that I am going to critique is called Supervisory Clinical Psychologist. In the book it says that the salary is not supposed to be in the job explanation. However in this job description is states that the salary is “$99,785.00 to $129,723.00” (usajobs.gov). The job description doesn’t talk about the danger, stress, physical difficulties or the amount of responsibility that this job requires. Also there is nothing in this description about any tools that are required. The job description talks about the duties that the person will be doing if they get this job.

I was very impressed with the presentation on Veterinary Pharmacy by Mr. Wishart. I believe Mr. Wishart deserves the grade that is reflected by this review as I feel much more informed about Veterinary Pharmacy, as he did a great job explaining all of the topics required in the rubric. Mr. Wishart did an excellent job describing the Pharmacists role in Veterinary Pharmacy, and how they dispense medications, advocate for quality therapeutic practice, and providing consultative services. He also discusses the impact of patient care, with regards to the Pharmacist preparing and dispensing of medications for animals, and educating owners on medications. Some qualifications for a Veterinary Pharmacist that Mr. Wishart described were the need of a doctorate degree in Pharmacy, special training on animal care, and a strong interest in working with animals.

MARK ALTMAN, age 20, is fatigued, yellowing, and terminally ill. He requires a tube just to be able to consume food.

Sadly, she is still paid less than the men at her job. If she is truly one of the best employees then she should be given a raise instead of being awarded less cash. It is illegal to not hire someone based on their race, yet it is legal to pay a woman less due to her sex. It should be clear to everyone that women are treated poorly and unfairly in the workplace everyday.

Why? I would remind Peter Strong and Margo Arms not to confuse performance with responsibility and the original agreeance of assigning Rebecca to Pay Grade 4. I would however recognize that Rebecca is a valuable member of the team and holds the one and only receptionist position within the firm. As the receptionist, she will give clients the first and last impression of the firm. Her position is unique and she has several years of experience. Additionally, she represents the firm well and has been recognized by the firms executives, the president and most importantly the firms customers. According to Haden (2012), "When you find great, always make your best offer" (para. 5). I would recommend that Rebecca’s individual equity to the firm is reevaluated when determining her

After conducting a web search I found that pay or compensation discrimination happens when employees carrying out similar work do not receive comparable pay. Pay discrimination also occurs when a salary modification has a dishonest base such as race or sex. Pay discrimination based on an employee's association in a protected classification like race, disability, or sex, is illegal by antidiscrimination regulations. Kate is clearly being discriminated against because of her gender. She has all the qualifications and the most time served in her position but yet she is receiving less pay than male workers just being hired. Also, two male workers that do not have any of the credentials that Kate have to start off receiving the same pay as

Despite the fact that the Equal Pay Act has been law since 1963, many problems inevitably arise in the administration of equal pay laws (Fisher). It has been estimated that at this current slow rate of progression in closing the gender pay gap it will be 2068 by the time men and women’s wages are equalized. It is clear that the business case, as well as the legislative case, has a significant role to play (Commission Policy Report).
