As a first-year Human Resource Specialist at “State of Estates” estate planning firm, your boss (Will N. Trusts) presents you with the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1

Gary, an estate planner, works on a contract basis for our clients at “State of Estates”. On occasion, we contract Gary to handle a specific client for a specific estate planning job. Per our contract with Gary for these specific clients, he is paid commission on a weekly basis based on the overall fee received by the firm. When working for these specific clients, Gary is able to use our office space, equipment, and any supplies necessary to complete the job. To ensure consistent work product and regulatory compliance, Gary submits his work to a supervisor, who approves it and send it to the client on behalf of our firm. Recently, we had to lay Gary off in the middle of a job and he filed for unemployment compensation.

  • What legal tests could be employed to determine whether Gary is an independent contractor or employee?
  • Based on these tests, what is your conclusion as to Gary’s status: independent contractor or employee?

Scenario 2

Susan, a financial products representative in our Nebraska office, landed a major Mutual Fund client just six weeks before planning to retire. In the interim, and before her commission was paid, she was let go by our firm. We did not have a contract for employment with Susan. She is now suing us for wrongful termination.

  • Would any exceptions to Susan’s at-will employment apply under these circumstances?
  • Does it make a difference if Susan was employed in our Florida office?

Apply the concept of employment at-will and its various exceptions, including differences in approach to at-will among the states.

Write two 175-word memorandums based on the scenarios in one document. The memos should be written in third-person voice, and include citation of references (both in-text and at the end of the memo) in APA format.

Choose an organization according to the following:

  • Current employer
  • Most recent or former employer
  • Place of business that you have patronized or have been familiar with over a long period of time.
    • Avoid choosing an organization that is so large that historical data would be difficult to apply. Firms in the Russell 2000® index may fit well, whereas firms in the Dow 30 Industrial index probably do not.
  • The organization can be a start-up that you or a significant other may create in the future. For a start-up, focus on an entrepreneurial idea that is of substantive interest, so this project leaves you with a product you may leverage in the future.

Write a 1,050-word paper in which you address the following:

  • Identify the major components of the strategic management process.
  • Discuss how these components work together to create value for the organization.
  • Evaluate the company’s mission statement, vision statement, motivation strategy, innovation strategy, and people strategy. If the organization does not have one or more of these, how does that affect the organization and its people?
  • Explain the role of ethics and corporate social responsibility in strategic planning. How does this direct their strategy? How does the organization’s vison and mission align with your own values and vision? If you are currently working for the organization, how does your role influence this and vice versa?

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Use at least 1 business journal article as a citation and reference. Web sources, other than business journal article sites, do not count towards the reference requirement. A company website may be used, but does not count toward the reference requirement. Provide APA formatted references for any sources paraphrased or quoted.

ENG1101 Definition Essay On Success

/in /by

Define one of the following abstract terms (empathy, happiness, success, depression, hope, American Dream) by explaining the basic definition, how the word is presented in media, and anecdotal examples showing what the word has meant in your own life.

Definition should present organized arguments about the meaning of the word in question. A good strategy would be to break down these definitions by different traits, spending a paragraph on each. Use the lessons from paper one, making sure to include concrete examples to support your abstract arguments. Give plenty of examples of each trait of each version of the definition.

Unlike your previous paper, this paper should include at least three cited quotes or paraphrases to support your thesis. As such, the use of (properly documented!) outside resources is allowed and encouraged. These citations can come from one to three sources. All outside sources must be of serious, reliable academic quality.

Thesis statements will need to be slightly adjusted for this essay from the last. An example of this: instead of “Because 1, 2, and 3, 4 is true” try “1, 2, and 3 best defines 4” or “The meaning of 4 can be best understood by considering 1, 2, and 3”).

Your essay should contain a thesis statement that gives me an idea of how you will back this point up and how your support will be organized throughout. It should also fulfill the other requirements of your rubric.

1200 words (two pages double spaced 12 point font). Please include your name, a title, the date, and your class hour at the top, as well as page numbers throughout.

And the original work is need. This essay is very important for me, so high quality should be guaranteed.
