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. In your
responses, you may want to consider the following:
? Should the firm be legally allowed to fire her based on the employment-at-will doctrine? Why or
why not?
? What are the legal implications for the employer vs. the employee in this particular instance?
? What preventive measures should the employer have in place in order to reduce any risk or
liability on its part?
? Are there any ?exceptions? to the employment-at-will doctrine that would apply in this case?
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.
