...A Business Owner Should Not be Able To Hire Or Fire Anyone Without Interference From The Government Byron E. Hercules Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract The recent economic downturn has forced many industries to change the way in which they do business in order to survive. Managers must find ways in which in to motivate their employees to overcome their employees natural resistance to change. Mangers must find ways to communicate a clear intent to diminish unknowns. Once clear goals have been created lay out individual goals to follow and Inspect their progress. Additionally, management must make sure that everyone is part of the plan and honor employee’s success in order to create a smoother transition with minimal resistance. A Business Owner Should Not be Able To Hire Or Fire Anyone Without Interference From The Government In recent history, many industries have suffered a severe economic downturn. Many industries across the board have changed in order to survive. The changes that the industries have endured can be categorized in the following manner: technological, environmental, and internal to the organization. Nevertheless, people are creatures of habits and once they become dedicated to a routine may have difficulty adjusting to changes. Most people tend to resist change when it is unexpected or unknown (Rue, 2014). “If it feels like walking off the cliff, blindfolded people will resist it” (Kanter, 2012). The second reason people resist change...

...PRO: A business owner should be able to hire or fire anyone without interference from the government. I am a firm believer that the owner of a business, no matter what type, should have the ability to hire and fire an employee without interference from the government. I currently reside in the state of Tennessee, which is a right to hire and fire state. There is a common law notion stating that, without any type of formal employment contract, employees have the right to quit their jobs any time they want to, regardless of whether or not they have a reason. By the same token, employers have the right to fire employees any time, whether they have a legitimate reason to do so or not (TN website). “Employment at Will” policies cannot be utilized by employers in any discriminatory manner, according to federal law. Employers are not allowed to fire employees because of their national origin, age, sex, religion, color, or race. If any type of written or oral agreement exists, such as a union contract or verbal promise, then the Employment at Will doctrine will be restricted. With that being said, I strongly believe a business owner should be afforded the opportunity to fire or hire anyone if he or she opens a business through their own volition. This hypothetical business owner has funded and conceptualized the whole idea. Because of this, the owner should have every right to base their ability to earn money and grow their business based on any stance on gender, sex, race, traits...

...Unit 1 The Business Environment BTEC level 3 subsidiary Diploma I am a junior researcher for a business magazine and I have been asked to prepare background material for a reporter who is planning a new feature article. The reporter wants me to focus on two contrasting business organizations with a presence in my local area and I have been asked to provide information on them, the information covering their purpose, ownership and roles of different stakeholders. Task 1 I am going to select two local organizations for my research. The first organization is South Wales fire and Rescue Service and the second is Macey Sports. Describe each business according to its type, purposes and ownership Macey Sports Macey Sports is a local business which is based in Newport. Its purpose is to sell a large, high quality range of cricket equipment grouped together with the sale of clothes for the local schools such as shirts, jumper’s trousers and ties. This company’s ultimate purpose is to make a profit. The business is a private sector business which means that it is owned by private citizens. It is a sole trader ownership which means that it is owned by one person. Some of the advantages of having a sole trader business are because the owner has full control over the business for daily operations and how large they want to expand their business. As well as this a sole trader does not need to complete many of the forms and accounting information that limited companies need to produce,...

...Risk Management Melissa Kizer-Denato Everest Online University The management of fire risk is a key component in the production of a business continuity plan. Both seek to improve the organization’s resilience. The structure of the plan will depend on the nature of the business or organization and will need to be tailored accordingly. Key steps to building the plan are: * Understand your business * BCM strategies * Develop a BCM response * Develop a BCM culture * Exercise, maintenance and audit (Monmouthshir, 2013) The Business Continuity Plan pulls together the response of the whole organization to a disruptive incident. Those using the plan should be able to analyze information concerning the impact of the incident, select and deploy appropriate resources from those available in the plan and direct the resumption of business units according to agreed priorities. Building-in business continuity, making it part of the way that you run your business, rather than having to 'firefight' any emergency, helps prepare you to offer 'business as usual' in the quickest possible time. The benefits of BCM include: * Protects the organization * Enables a clearer understanding of how the organization works * Ensures compliance * Protects the community (Surrey's Local Resilience Forum, 2014) 'Business Continuity affects everyone: customers, staff, the community and ultimately the economy' (Surrey's Local Resilience Forum, 2014). ...

...HOW TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER What would happen if a fire broke out in your home or business? Would you know what to do or where the fire extinguisher was located? Over the past couple of months, there have been a high number of fires in homes and businesses. Were there any fire extinguishers and did the personnel know how to use them? Knowing how to use a fire extinguisher could save your home, business or more importantly your life. Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher and all businesses in the Hampton Roads area are required to have them. Knowing where they are located is just as important as knowing how to use them. In homes they should be located in the kitchen under the cabinets or mounted on the wall. In businesses they are located at all exit doors that are at least 75 feet apart. The size and type of extinguishers will vary depending on the type of business and the size of the space covered. The most common type of extinguishers used is an “ABC” extinguisher. It is used on A, B and C classes of fires. Fires are classified by the materials they burn; for example: Class A or alpha fires are any material that will leave an ash. Class B or bravo fires would be fuel, grease or flammable liquid fires. Class C or Charlie fires are electrical or electronic fires.

...the most famous events in Chicago history, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, never happened? What would the city look like today? “Once you open up what might have happened, the possibilities are endless.” -Carl Smith To a tremendous degree, the outline and design of the city of Chicago and the character of the structures are an aftereffect of the Chicago Fire. On the off chance that the fire had not happened, it would look a considerable measure changed. To start with, think about how possible it is that an alternate fire would have wrecked a huge area of the city at some point or another. Chicago was loaded with wooden structures, and in addition, heaps of timber and coal. What's more, the city had 561 miles of wood walkways....

...BUS2100-101 February 05, 2016 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Research/ Analyzation The Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire was on March 25, 1911. It was one of the worst tragedies New York City has ever had it caused the demise of 146 workers. The company was owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Hariss. It started out as a small business and by 1900 it had expanded quickly. They relocated the business to the 8th, 9th and 10th floors of the new ten- story Ash Building. The company employed around 500 employees. Most of the employees were immigrant women. Most of the women died from the fire or they perished from jumping from the burning building because the ladders on the fire trucks could only reach the seventh floor. The factory managers kept all of the doors locked to prevent employee theft and to keep the workers from leaving. The building only had one fire escape that collapsed during the rescue. Long tables and large machines trapped many of the people. In my opinion, the managers should not have locked the doors just to save the company money and time. This kind of behavior from the company and managers was unethical behavior. Human life should always take precedence over saving and making money. The company should have taken employee health and safety more serious before the fire. The only legal consequences for the managers were attorney fees. Civil lawsuits against the managers were filed, they proved to be pointless. No money was ever collected from...

...knowledge Five areas of business compliance required by restaurants operating within NSW include: Business names A business name is a name or title under which a person or other legal entity may conduct its business (Vickery and Pendleton, 2009). It is necessary to register so that a person may find out the details of a proprietor where the business is not trading under the owner’s name. Registering a business name does not give ownership of that name to the proprietor nor does it give exclusive rights to use the whole or part of its name. It also does not prevent the name being used by a person who has registered it as a trademark. When registering a business name, there are a number of fees applicable to certain circumstances. Processing fees attached to the total fee are retained even if the application is unsuccessful. To apply for registration of a business name is $152 including a $26 processing fee. Application for renewal of registration of a business name is $115 including a $17 processing fee. Application for restoration of a business name is $131 including $33 processing fee. And an application for replacement of certificate of registration is $17 including processing charges. Both applications for renewal of registration and restoration of a business name are discounted by $5 if done online. The department of Fair Trading may refuse an application to register a business name if it is seen to be the same as an existing registered business, company, corporation, or...
