Every employer covered by FMLA must post and keep posted the rules pertaining to FMLA. This posting must be in a place easily accessible by all employees (Vikesland, 2006)
An independent contractor rarely performs work integral to the performance of the business. It is true that certain factors associated with contract employment are not present in this case, given that Mary worked very closely with a supervisor; used company materials; and adhered to a company schedule (Feig 2007)
The notion of 'at will employment' means that an employee may be fired for any reason, without cause, so long as the actions were not in violation of federal anti-discrimination law based upon the employee's membership in protected categories such as race, religion, gender, age, or disability. "Similarly, you cannot be fired because you have complained about illegal activity, about discrimination or harassment, or about health and safety violations in the workplace" (Guerin 2014)
In order to understand the relationship between inflation and GDP, interest rates will be examined alongside rates of consumption in millions. When there are lower interest rates, consumers spend more because it cost less to use credit and purchase larger purchases (Roos, 2013)
Change in gross fixed income then impacts the overall GDP as well. Here, the research suggests that "the higher GDP growth, the lower unemployment" (Spagnoli, 2012)
S. right now stands at around five percent (Acocella et al
One aspect is the ability of the manufacturing structure to adapt, which is made easier through the novel kinds of automation. The other aspect is the level and ability to move from one task to another task, in the context of workplace conditions and specialization (Arestis 1986:84)
, 2008). In line with the informal contracts paradigm (Azariadis 1975; Barlevi, 2001) the inflexibility of wages are calculated from the micro level
It also tries to explain why trade unions as well as collective bargaining deals have developed in capitalist countries. In line with this theory, these talks that involve the union members and the employer lead to unemployment as the members are sheltered by their unions from being exploited by employers, which creates inflexibility in the labor market on wages and employment (Blundell and MaCurdy, 2008)
If inflation was handled, they believed that the economy would stabilize and the issues related to unemployment would resolve automatically. The neoclassical approach does not offer solutions for the problem of unemployment since it views unemployment as being a less important issue which does not require direct intervention from the government (Head, 2005)
A person cannot be referred to as unemployed when they are not looking for a job. Consequently, in economics, not everyone who is not employed is referred to as unemployed (Romer, 2011)
Ethics audits are useful because they render, in objective and quantifiable terms, how ethical conduct is measured by a company and hold the company to specific benchmarks. It is often said that in the corporate world "what gets measured, matters" and that is also true of "corporate responsibility: when information and metrics are combined with disclosure and transparency, corporate posturing on issues that affect society can be quickly replaced with fact-based analysis and discussion" (Connor 2011)
Its philosophy of being the best one can be seemed to cohere with a particular ethical worldview that stressed personal empowerment. Thus, it was a great shock to the world when it was revealed that Nike products were manufactured under ethically questionable circumstances (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell 2011: 217)
An ethical audit would have demonstrated the costs to the company of noncompliance. A similar problem was suffered by the toy manufacturer Mattel, when it was discovered that, because of its desire to price its toys as cheaply as possible, it had selected a Chinese subcontractor that used lead paint that was hazardous to children (Wisner & Gilbert 2010)
For example: "a survey of 1,123 manufacturing executives released last year found that 67% of companies had a moderate to severe shortage of available, qualified workers. The report estimated 600,000 jobs nationwide were going unfilled because of a lack of qualified candidates" (Coyne 2012)
Low-skilled manufacturing jobs are being outsourced or are now able to be performed with technology. Only low-paying jobs on the retail level that do not pay a living wage are left "or professional jobs that require specific technical skills with too few people to fill them" (Hasham 2012)
We currently have more than 5,000 openings, tech job openings in San Diego, that we can't fill. There is a severe shortage" noted one California research group (Koba 2012)
Graduates who studied health or education, however, both have unemployment rates of only 5.4%" (Supiano 2012)
Probably the most famous whistleblower in recent years was the real life "Deep Throat," W. Mark Felt, who helped Washington Post Reporters Bernstein and Woodward uncover the issues surrounding Watergate and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon in the 1970s (Fastenberg, 2011)
The term originated from the sporting world, in which the referee blows a whistle to indicate an illegal play. The phrase was coined in the current usage by activist Ralph Nader in the early 1970s as a way to avoid the negative term "snitches" (Johnson, 2004)
