...literature review will focus on the impact of the National Minimum Wage on employment. This is an area we have had to familiarise ourselves with more and more throughout the last ten years because of the controversial effect of its instalment in April 1999 and its ever increasing minimum wage amount which causes most concern. The application of a few statistics should help summarise the ever increasing minimum wage and the sheer scale of people affected by its introduction. The national minimum wage has increased by a staggering 59% in the last ten years; from £3.60 in April 1999 to £5.73 in October 2008. (HRM, 2008) According to George Sayers Bain (1999) as from April 1999, the year of its instalment , “some two million low paid workers will gain. To put that into a different context is one in twelve employees; one in three house workers; one in five part time workers. The obvious reason for its introduction was to reduce poverty pay levels while at the same time decreasing the wage differentials of the minimum wage to the median wage of all workers. This is known as ‘the bite’ and is commonly used to assess the effectiveness of the minimum wage. (LPC, Low Pay Commission, 2007) As stated above the intention of this review is to firstly establish the effect of the National minimum wage on employment; justifying it as a positive, negative or mutual effect. Secondly to help incarcerate the purpose even more the retail sector will be focused on purely because it entices the most jobs...

...PART I: Did CARDWARE have genuine Bona Fide Occupational Job Qualifications) in its ad? Title VII of the 1964 Civil Right Act addresses the Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications (BFOQ) that can be used in legal employment discriminations. BFOQs are employment qualifications that employers are allowed to take into consideration while making employment decisions about hiring and retention of employees that falls under the “protected groups of people.” These groups that Title VII protects are race, religion, national origin, age, gender, or disability. (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, n.d.) To be legal in discriminating against any protected group, it must relate to an essential job duty and is considered necessary for the operation of the particular business. The Act applies to employers that employ fifteen or more employees. (Fundamentals of Business Law, 2013, p. 431) Also, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of age against individuals forty years of age and older. For the Act to apply the employer must employ more than twenty individuals. (Fundamentals of Business Law, 2013, p. 429) In this case of CARDWARE Inc., the business does not have a qualifying BFOQ and cannot discriminate against any one of the protected groups. Because CARDWARE has ten stores and employs three employees in each store, that means the business employs at least thirty employees and cannot discriminate on anyone aged over...

Traders fear the move. Opposition parties oppose the move as they know they will benefit if they support the traders. No one is touching the real issues and accepting the truth that today or tomorrow FDI, big global corporations will enter into India directly or indirectly. Today world is becoming a global village. Foreign Investment in India is governed by the FDI policy announced by the Government of India and the provision of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) 1999. The foreign investors are free to invest in India, except few sectors/activities, where prior approval from the RBI or Foreign Investment Promotion Board (‘FIPB’) is required. In franchising and commission agents’ services, FDI (unless otherwise prohibited) is allowed with the approval of the Reserve Bank of India under the Foreign Exchange Management Act.

...Abstract In this report following resources have been utilized to establish a relationship between Retail Salesperson’s salaries and their intent to shoplift at their own workplace: * The Larceny theft data from Federal Bureau of Investigation’s official website for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013; * 25th and 26th Annual Retail Theft Surveys by Hayes International for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013; * National Conference of State Legislatures website for Labor and employment data for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013. ‘Shoplifting’ is undoubtedly a psychological issue for most of the people. Shoplifting for most individuals is rarely about greed or poverty. It’s about people struggling with their own personal conflicts and needs. There are approximately 27 million shoplifters (or 1 in 11 people) in the USA today. More than 10 million people have been caught shoplifting in the last five years. The pleasure produced from “getting away with it” yields a chemical reaction causing in what shoplifters describe as an incredible “rush” or “high” feeling. Many shoplifters have committed to the fact that this high is their “true reward,” rather than the stolen product itself. It is assumed in this project that all the shoplifting instances in different states of the USA have been performed by the front-end Retail Salesperson. This might not be 100% true as the members of the Retail Store management of a company may also get themselves involved in such heinous crime, but this possibility...

Customers can purchase goods and services from various merchants, and in affordable quantities.

Cities typically would form around these posts, owing...
