LEG 500 Assignment 1 Employment-At-Will
Doctrine
Due Week 3 and worth 200 points
As a manager and supervisor of an accounting
department, discuss the following issues related to
the employment-at-will doctrine and liability of an
employer based on actions and responses to the
employee’s behavior and actions. Jennifer, a recent
graduate, has recently been hired by your accounting
firm out of college. Upon being hired, she engages
in a number of different behaviors that need your
attention.
For each category of behavior, describe what
steps you would take to address the situation.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you
1. Describe what steps you would take to address the
following scenario involving skills, competence, and
abilities
The employee seems to be unable to learn the
computer applications that are basic to her job
responsibilities, but, consistently “tells” her boss
that she is “a good worker and a genius” and that
he does not “appreciate her”. Even after a few
months of training and support, she is unable to
use the computer tools to be productive and
efficient in completing the required tasks.
2. Describe what steps you would take to address the
following scenario involving management, behavior,
and performance
The employee tends to burst into a rage when
criticized and is frequently late to work as
noticed by her boss and other staff members.
When her boss attempts to address her
behavioral issues and the company late policy,
the employee’s response is that she “ knows her
rights and what to do” if she is wrongfully
discharged. She also says she took a business
law class in undergrad that taught her
“everything she needs to know about exceptions
to the employment-at-will doctrine and wrongful
discharge in violation of public policy”.
3. Describe what steps you would take to address the
following scenario involving labor and laws
The employee takes a day off from work,
without management consent, for her religious
holiday observance that falls on a day that is
during “ tax season”. The day off occurred
during an incredibly busy period for the
company during which the employer had
notified all employees they were not allowed to
take off without prior management approval.
Also, there is no labor union for accountants.
However, she begins talking to her co-workers
during lunch breaks and sometimes during
regular work hours, encouraging them to
organize and form a union to “protect
ourselves”.
4. Describe what steps you would take to address the
following scenario involving policies and procedures
The employee’s supervisor consistently asks her
out on dates; the employee initially refuses to go
out on a date with her supervisor. The employee
later discusses the issue with her girlfriend who
encourages her to accept his offers. During her
new employee orientation, the employee was
informed of the company policy which
prevented employees from dating their
supervisor and was given an employee
handbook with the written policy. The employee
and her supervisor later begin having a
consensual relationship.

this LEG 500 Assignment. Note Wikipedia and
other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
