...It is understandable why some police departments prohibit police officers from accepting gratuities. Two opposing arguments for accepting gratuities are the slippery slope argument which notes that taking gratuities leads to more serious deviance. The unjust enrichment argument notes that the only honest compensation for police is their paycheck. The text relays that a gift given connects the giver and receiver in a bond of reciprocity similar to a friendship. The issue arises when one of the parties has an impure intent. The giver could be handing out gratuities because she wants more of a police presence to ward off would be thieves. Some police officers are experts on how to siphon free items from merchants. Some officers are given free...

...working. Because of th. Alternative A – Shorten shift with as needed expansion hours One option is to shorten the shift the therapist is scheduled to work, with the option to open availability should the shortened shift be booked and more availability is needed. This would condense the available appointments to either morning or evening and prevent such a large schedule gap. Alternative B – Compensation Option for Unbook Session Another option would be to provide partial compensation for unbooked session. Each therapist is required to make state law minimum wage (NJ $8.38 p/h). Each session is paid at $16 per session with optional gratuity typically ranging between $15 & $20 per session. What typically happens, should a therapist not be fully book during the pay weeks, a calculation of their earnings is taken; Paid Sessions + Gratuities / Total Scheduled Hours. If their calculated pay does not equal $8.38 p/h or more, they are then compensated the amount that would equal $8.38 p/h. If they do make $8.38 p/h or more, even if only by one cent, then no additional compensation is made. What happens now is the therapist is making about half the rate...

...Running head: PROS AND CONS Pros and Cons of Compensation for NCAA Division I Student Athletes Mark Dunkley PEP 461 Student The College at Brockport Abstract This paper weighs in the pros and cons for the compensation of Division I college student athletes. This paper also introduces a plan that would allow monetary compensation of college athletes in the United States. A survey was distributed to 14 males of the Suny College at Brockport basketball team Pros and Cons of Compensation for NCAA Division I Student Athletes The exploits of student-athletes in sports have variously been advanced as generating a lot of dollars in forms of revenues for their respective institutions, which has generally raised the question as to why they shouldn’t be compensated for their sporting prowess. Student-athletes generate tens of millions of dollars for their respective athletic departments and ideally then should be reimbursed. However, as per the guidelines of the National Collegiate Athletics Associations (NCAA), athletes are not supposed to receive any commercial use of their personas and likenesses and are indeed not expected to gain any monetary compensation for their sporting engagements. This has generally been interpreted to mean that they cannot enter into agreements for endorsements in their sporting activities as has been the case with professional engagements. Instead, students are expected to benefit from the payment for tuition fees from their sporting activities...

...The warehouse and wholesale segment of retailing is a very successful and fast growing industry. In 2011 it was a $155 billion business in the United States alone, and growing at a rate that was 15-20 percent faster than retailing in its entirety. Offering low prices and legitimate quality with reasonably priced membership fees, the retail warehouse industry is particularly attractive to households with large families, bargain hunters, small business owners, churches and non-profit organizations. Through various distribution strategies, the retail warehouse store industry is able to stay atop other types of retailers. The retail warehouse industry continues to evolve by seeing and seizing opportunities, especially during times of economic turmoil. This is especially true for Costco, who anticipates crisis and change in the retail industry and with its circular vision finds a way to reinvent and change its distribution channel to maximize its volume and overall efficiency. The industry also continues to evolve by improving their website capabilities and sales, and continuing to deliver low prices along with value to its customers. The retail warehouse store industry is a comprised of three major competitors, Costco Wholesale, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s warehouse. These three are also in competition with a number of other retailers such as Target, Walmart, Dollar general, specialty stores, gas stations, and internet retailers. Stores that specialize in a small number of products and...

Why a strike? Causes of strikes Types of strike Strike affect in Diff Countries Strikes number in Different Countries How Were the First Labor Unions Formed? Who wins in strike? Case study Conclusion and recommendation Bros and Cons of Strike Action References Introduction: This study is about strikes phenomena, its definition, reasons, types, and whether these strikes are for good or bad, and also who will benefit from it. Also we’ll discuss a real case study that shows the real effect of strike and whether it’s for good or bad. Definition A strike is a very powerful weapon used by trade unions and other labour associations to get their demands accepted. This is done through a process called Collective Bargaining Process (CBP), which includes negotiations between the two parties (employees’ representatives and employer’s representatives). Often employees are represented in the bargaining by a union or other labour organization. The main responsibility of the CBP is to resolving individual or group disputes. How does the strike develop? A strike generally involves quitting of work by a group of workers for the purpose of bringing the pressure on their employer...

...sporting activities as has been the case with professional engagements. Instead, students are expected to benefit from the payment for tuition fees from their sporting activities. The borne of contention however has been that the universities they play for can enter into agreements of endorsements or other forms of commercial engagements and contracts by utilizing the players identities (Mueller, n.d). This would posit that students surrender their rights of publicity to the universities, raising both legal and ethical concerns. Essentially, this parity in opinions among the different players constituted the motivation for the current study. Based on a detailed review of literature on student-athletes, the paper will present both the pros and cons of monetary compensation for their sporting activities. Conclusions on whether students should be compensated or not will then be presented based on...

...IPCS Special Report 25 June 2006 LEFT EXTREMISM IN INDIA NAXAL MOVEMENT IN CHATTISGARH & ORISSA Rajat Kumar Kujur Research Scholar, JNU INTRODUCTION One of the striking features of the Naxal movement is that right from its inception it has remained a point of attention for academicians, journalists and, of course, politicians. However, for some reason or the other, contemporary research on Naxalism has so far been focused on West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and, to some extent, Bihar, at the expense of ot her areas where the movement also has a strong presence. However, as Naxalism or the Naxal movement is a complex problem, it is necessary to look at the problem at specific levels in different regions. It is in this context a primary research on the Naxal Movement in the neighbouring states of Chattisgarh and Orissa, where the Naxal movement is placed at two different levels, is of considerable academic interest. This article is an attempt to explain the growth of the Naxal movement in the poor and underdeveloped regions of these two states. The focus of this paper is on I CHATTISGARH THE NAXAL WAR ZONE Chattisgarh, which is a part of the Dandakaranya region, has been a centre of Maoist activities since the early days of the People’s War. It was none other than the founding father of People’s War (PW), K. Seetharamaiah, who envisaged the idea...
