employment laws affecting business

CO4: Apply legal concepts to business scenarios

CO9: Evaluate employment laws affecting business.

CO10: Define the ethical environment that is applicable to the business world.

Title I of the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12112(a). Requires employers to provide reasonable accommodation to otherwise qualified persons with a disability to enable them to work.   The federal government has a similar requirement under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794.  What is a “reasonable” accommodation? This is a determination to be made on the facts by the employer on a case-by-case basis.  Ultimately, the decision  an employer makes may be reviewed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)  (or an equivalent state agency) or a court if challenged by an applicant or employee.

PROMPT:  CASE STUDY

Adele, a fully qualified specialized registered nurse,  is deaf. She relies upon an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter to communicate with hearing individuals in the workplace.  Adele applied for a job with Marigold Mercy Receiving and Trauma Center (“MMRTC”), a large medical center that, with all its hubs and subsidiaries, grossed $1.3 billion annually. Adele received a job offer, conditioned upon a health screening and clearance by MMRTC’s occupational health department. She is in fact cleared, but she notified MMRTC that she needed an ASL interpreter as an accommodation for her hearing impairment.  The annual salary, including benefits, for her position was approximately $75,000.

Upon investigation, MMRTC calculated that the annual cost to MMRTC for the ASL interpreter accommodation would be $120,000; there was the need for a full time interpreter for Adele, plus several situations where two ASL interpreters would be required.  In considering Adele’s request for accommodation, the department’s hiring supervisor wrote in an email that the department’s annual  HR budget allocation of $3 million could not  absorb the “excessive cost of the additional personnel” of ASL qualified interpreters “for this one nurse.”  MMRTC determined the additional salary and personnel would be an “undue hardship,” making the accommodation unreasonable.  Therefore, MMRTC did not hire Adele.   Did MMRTC violate ADA?

DISCUSS: Was MMRTC within its rights to refuse the accommodation and thus not hire Adele?  In considering this case, you should review:  1) what is considered a “reasonable” accommodation under ADA; (2) sample accommodations listed by ADA (42 U.S.C. § 12111(9) (2018)) and the EEOC (www.eeoc.gov); and (3)  the definition and standard for “undue hardship”  (42 U.S.C. § 12111(10)(a) (2018)).  Please support your thoughts and conclusion with reasoned analysis.

 1.  Mary goes to a used car dealership to buy a car.  The used car salesperson tells Mary the car is in fantastic condition.  For various reasons Mary has no confidence in what she is being told but it is more of a “gut feeling” than anything she can point to.  Mary buys the car for $10,000 and drives it off the lot.  One week later the car develops major problems and keeps stalling out and Mary can not drive it safely.  She takes it to a car mechanic and is told it will cost $3,000. to fix.  Does Mary have any recourse over the car dealership? Explain your answer fully exploring all issues.

2.

Tina is friends with Tony and Ethel and one night they decide to start a new business.  Tina likes Tony but is not sure of Ethel because she is a multi-millionaire and acts “snooty” and acts better than everyone else.  If you were advising Tina about entering into a business with Tony and Ethel what would you advise?  In the discussion talk about both partnership and limited partnerships.  What if Ethel goes into the business relationship as a limited partner; does that change your advice?  Would you advise Tina to enter as a partner or limited partner and why? I have left the type of business blank so if it helps your analysis feel free to make a business up.  Explain your answer fully exploring all issues.

the relationship between the variables in dataset

/in /by
You will describe the relationship between the variables in your dataset by interpreting the Scatter Plot that you have created. You will describe this relationship by answering the following questions:
1. Insert the Scatter Plot you have created into your post.
2. Describe the following characteristics of the correlation result as interpreted from the Scatter Plot you just created: 
– strength 
– direction
3. Is this a Pearson r Scatter Plot or a Spearman Rho Scatter Plot? Justify your answer. 
4. Based on your interpretation of the Scatter Plot you have created, formulate a null hypothesis consistent with these results. 
5. Are there outliers in this data set? How do you assess for these when interpreting a Scatter Plot? 
6. What additional information do you need to determine if this correlation is statistically significant? Does the Scatter Plot provide this information? If the correlation is statistically significant, does that mean you reject or fail to reject H0?
