Since his graduation from college twenty-five years ago, William (“Bill”) Small had been employed as the lone architect at Acme Fencing & Landscaping, (AFL) Inc., an industrial and residential landscaping and fencing construction company. An exceptionally bright, dedicated, talented, and industrious individual, Bill had rapidly gained the confidence of AFL’s President and CEO, Richard Acme. As Mr. Acme’s interests gradually turned away from day-to-day company matters to such higher-level issues as public image and marketing, the company grew rapidly as a fairly large employer operating in the three states.

All Bill knew is that HR was a very small centralized department consisting of four employees, and that these four persons handled all of the human resources-related issues in the company. The company itself had three smaller regional offices – one located in each of the three states in which the company presently operated. There were no HR personnel located in the regional offices, however; all of AFL’s human resources employees worked centrally – out of the corporate office. The HRM Department was staffed as follows:
