...Assignment #2 – Family Related Issues Kenya Williams Dr. Mark Davis LEG 500 – Law, Ethics, and Corporate Governance July 31, 2011 Explain if it matters that a parent literally had nothing to do with a biological child in order for the child to take advantage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for that parent. It does not matter if a parent had anything to do with a biological child in order for the child to take care of his or her parent and take advantage of FMLA because, under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, “parent” means a biological parent adoptive, step or foster father or mother, or an individual who stands or stood “in loco parentis,” meaning in place of parent, “to the employee when the employee was a child (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010). However, this does not extend to a parent in-law (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010). Also, under the law, each employee has a set amount of vacation and sick time allocated, in which they can by law take if there is enough to cover what they are asking to take (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010). Therefore, Tony is eligible in this category to take FMLA, providing that he has fulfilled all other qualifications. Explain whether the size of the business can have any effect on whether Tony is eligible for family leave under the FMLA. FMLA does not apply to everyone. There are exceptions. The Act does not apply to small employers, or to employees who have been hired recently. Although the exceptions...

...Labour Court | The Labour Court is created in terms of section 84 of the Labour Act [Chapter 28:01]. It is a creature of statute and its area of jurisdiction is only as provided for within the four corners of the Act. Composition It consists of a Senior President and other Presidents of the Labour Court. With the recent operationalisation of the Judicial Service Act, the Labour Court now falls under the authority of the Judicial Service Commission as headed by the Chief Justice. The Senior President is possessed of the overall administrative responsibility of the operations of this court. The Labour Court is currently located in three centres, namely Harare, Bulawayo and Gweru. The functions of the Labour Court may be exercised by one or more Presidents sitting either by themselves or with one or more assessors. In the event of an equal division in opinions of the Presidents, the decision of the presiding President shall be the decision of the whole court. Assessors do not have a voice in any question of law. Jurisdiction The jurisdiction of the Labour Court is specified in section 89 of the Act. Generally, it is an appeal court for a variety of labour disputes, although in a few cases it is a court of first instance. An example of the latter is where a dispute may arise in relation to the extent or description of any undertaking or industry represented by a trade union. Such a dispute may be referred directly to the Labour Court for determination. An appeal...

...Reinstating the Military Draft The military draft has been used several times throughout the United States history. It has been used for different conflicts such as the World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. By 1973, the country switched to an all-volunteer military service, abandoning the concept of the military draft (Brisbane, par. 1). Congressman Charles Rangel planned to introduce a legislation calling for the draft reinstatement. If a military draft is reinstated, everyone, no matter what social class the person is, will have to do his or her part in the defense of our country. Of course there are people who oppose the military draft by saying that it is not very democratic and that it violates the freedom this country is know for fighting for. Congressman Rangel said, “There's no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way” (Williams, par. 1). Whether the military draft should or should not be reinstated is an ongoing debate that will never end. Many people believe that a compulsory draft violates one's personal freedom. Although some proponents of the military draft claim that anyone living in a society owes the society his liberty, and he should therefore be obligated to fight to preserve...

...Pete Rose, 74, applied to Major League Baseball for reinstatement, last week. Commissioner, Bart Giamatti, suspended the all-time hits leader for life on August 23, 1989, for betting on baseball. Rose was under the impression he would serve some time but he would be allowed back in the game eventually. One of the greatest players to ever play the game, Rose is ineligible for election to the hall-of-fame. Commissioner, Rob Manfred, has indicate he will make a decision by the end of this year. He should be allowed back in baseball even if it comes with stipulations. Manfred can reinstate him, with provisions that prevent him from working in the front office, or any part of a coaching staff, of any organization. This would include the minor leagues as well. He should be allowed to be an advisor or something of that capacity....

...agreement stating, “Lessor requires the lessee to perform general repairs and maintenance on the leased premises.” It should be addressed as follows: The proper treatment for the second provision in the lease agreement stating, “Lessor requires the lessee to remove all leasehold improvements such that the premises are reinstated to original condition.” It should be addressed as follows: 840-20-25-11 Leasehold improvements are investments made to customize buildings and offices occupied under operating lease contracts to make them suitable for the intended purpose. The present value of estimated reinstatement costs to bring a leased property into its original condition at the end of the lease, if required, is capitalized as part of the total leasehold improvements costs. At the same time, a corresponding liability is recognized to reflect the obligation incurred. Reinstatement costs are recognized in profit and loss through depreciation of the capitalized leasehold improvements over their estimated useful life. With the exception of investment properties, property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and is periodically reviewed for impairment. The useful life of property and equipment is estimated on the basis of the economic utilization of the asset. Property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life as follows Leasehold improvements: Residual lease term, but not exceeding...

...Abstract A union’s duty of fair representation refers to the legally enforceable expectation that union representatives will treat all bargaining unit employees the same. The present case involves seven truck drivers, who took it upon themselves to stop their work without the permission of the plant manager, in order to pressure the company to increase their wages. Managers often use distributive bargaining strategies to negotiate over wages. Employers often use bulletin boards to post information, such as policy changes, holiday schedules, work-related news, and information for employee development. Keywords: Bargaining Strategies, Bulletin Boards, Duty of Fair Representation, Strikes Selected Views on Labor Relations: The Duty of Fair Representation and Other Issues A union’s duty of fair representation refers to the legally enforceable expectation that union representatives will treat all bargaining unit employees the same (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters, 2009). This fair treatment is visible in two main processes. First, union leaders should invite employees to exercise their voice and discuss their opinions openly in terms of what is best for everyone in negotiating the collective-bargaining agreement. This process ultimately affects wages, the standard of living, and labor costs (Stewart & Brown, 2009). Secondly, the union has a duty to avoid arbitrary conduct. This latter aspect of the union’s duty of fair representation applies mainly to the need to follow up on legitimate...

...New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies 11, 1 (June 2009): 304-317. EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS IN MALAYSIA: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE MAIMUNAH AMINUDDIN1 Independent Scholar Introduction This paper offers an overview of the employment relations framework in Malaysia, focusing on the current status of three key areas central to the employment relations system, namely, the strength of the trade union movement, security of employment for employees, and the state’s position on measures to deal with sexual harassment. It will only examine these subsystems of the employment relations system as they apply in the private sector where the majority of employees work, this sector is considered the main driver of Malaysia’s economy. The Trade Union Movement The relationship between employers and employees in Malaysia is regulated by a number of laws which were introduced prior to independence (1957) and in the first decade immediately thereafter. The colonial economy prior to World War II (1939-45) was based on tin mining and rubber plantations. The need for labour in these two industries changed the human landscape of Malaysia (Malaya as it then was) for ever. The colonial government either allowed or actively encouraged the importation of labour from China and India, thus creating the multi-racial society which is Malaysia today. The wages of this growing group of employees were low and working conditions were mostly abysmal. Jomo and Todd explained the lack of governmental ...

...Historically in Canada, the death penalty existed as the maximum punishment for criminals convicted of committing capital offences before it was abolished from Canada’s Criminal Code in 1976 (Thompson, Andrew.S. 2008, p. 172). Presently the highest form of punishment is as a maximum of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years (Roberts and Stalans, 1997, as cited in Lambert, E., Baker, D., & Tucker, K. 2006, p.3). Many Canadians support the return of the death penalty, an illustration of this would be when the House of Commons held a free vote“…in 1987 …regarding the reinstatement of the death penalty”, although the free vote was defeated “46% of the votes cast were for reinstatement”.

...alive and well. The property catastrophe reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) markets are witnessing this convergence along a spectrum and across a range of differing attributes. This paper will review this continuum across key characteristics in the catastrophe risk transfer arena. To provide a specific example, we will conclude with a brief case study of OakLeaf Re 2011 and describe where it fits across the various attributes. Though there are many ways to divide the market, we have chosen to break it into three main categories: reinsurance; collateralized reinsurance (CRE); and catastrophe bonds. We will cover the similarities and differences for the following topics: (1) type of collateral; (2) payment flow; (3) reinstatement; (4) collateral release & commutation; (5) premium adjustment; (6) fees & expenses; (7) risk analysis; (7A) tradability; and (8) trigger type. Multi-year vs. single-year contracts are not explored in depth in this paper because this is a feature that can be utilized in all three forms of execution. 1. Type of Collateral The nature of the collateral for the cedant varies depending on the type of protection they purchase. A cedant following the traditional reinsurance route takes the reinsurer’s “paper.” Though somewhat of an over-generalization, the value of the paper is a binary assessment from a credit perspective. Is the provider of that reinsurance paper a reliable enough counterparty that their...
