Review of injury lawyer marketing personal::Who Is Primary When Billing Auto Injury Claims in the ...








The               economy               hurts               many               people               in               different               ways,               and               not               singularly               the               people               who               are               laid               off               from               positions               of               employment,               but               often               the               people               who               have               to               make               the               difficult               decisions               to               select               who               will               be               separated               from               the               organization.

During               business               courses,               students               will               explore               the               realm               of               firing               and               hiring,               the               legalities               and               the               ethical               positions               that               make               a               difference               when               committing               to               both               decision               and               the               potential               problems               after               such               a               decision.

Some               colleges               provide               students               with               invented               organizations               to               develop               these               theories               from,               and               in               the               case               of               the               University               of               Phoenix,               this               organization               is               FastServe               Inc.

The               following               was               my               assessment               during               the               course               regarding               selection               of               personnel               for               separation               from               the               organization.

FastServe               Inc.

is               a               US               company               with               a               work               force               of               approximately               350               people,               and               the               company               markets               "branded               sports               apparel"               with               a               "focus               exclusively               on               America's               sport-crazy               Generation               Y               segment"               (Legal               Environment               of               Business,               n.d.).

Upon               developing               the               online               marketing               distribution               channels,               FastServe               Inc.

it               became               apparent               the               costs               for               maintaining               these               channels               were               beyond               the               means               of               the               company,               and               these               ideas               were               shelved.

Unfortunately,               this               also               required               changes               in               staffing               to               reduce               staff               increases               that               were               made               for               the               changes.

Companies               face               many               issues               when               reducing               the               numbers               of               their               staff,               including               keeping               members               who               are               productive,               as               well               as               maintaining               talent               levels,               and               increasing               the               number               of               staff               members               who               contribute               to               the               bigger               picture.

However,               companies               are               faced               with               hard               decisions               that               include               avoiding               issues               of               discrimination,               severance               packages,               and               layoffs               without               pay.
               Title               VII               of               the               Civil               Rights               Act               of               1964               prohibits               discrimination               based               on               race,               color,               religion,               sex,               and               national               origin               (EEOC,               1997).

Additionally,               "the               Americans               with               Disabilities               Act               of               1990,               and               section               501               of               the               Rehabilitation               Act               of               1973"               were               developed               along               with               the               Revised               Statutes               of               1977               to               protect               employees               from               discrimination               of               disability,               as               well               as               sexual               harassment               issues.

FastServe               Inc.

operates               an               "at               will"               employment,               and               intends               to               layoff               three               people;               these               three               people               must               demonstrate               reasons               for               their               dismissal               that               are               both               fair               and               legal.

Should               the               employees               feel               that               they               were               dismissed               for               discriminatory               reasons,               FastServe               Inc.

could               be               faced               with               a               lawsuit.
               There               are               five               people               in               the               final               list               of               options               for               employees               who               could               be               dismissed               for               the               layoffs:               Carl               Haimes,               Brian               Carter,               Sarah               Boyd,               Nora               Manson,               and               Jenny               Mills.

Each               member               has               positive               and               negative               aspects               of               their               careers               with               FastServe               Inc.

that               can               influence               the               final               decision.
               One               of               the               highest               priorities               of               retaining               employees               is               how               they               fit               into               the               new               design               the               company               will               move               to,               this               requires               review               of               the               "Sample               Skill               Sets               &               Job               Responsibility."               Currently               Brian               Carter               has               suffered               an               injury               which               could               be               the               direct               relation               to               his               position               with               FastServe,               and               while               this               is               a               considerable               issue               which               must               be               examined,               it               is               not               reason               to               move               his               position               when               his               skill               sets               do               not               reflect               need               for               the               current               future               of               FastServe.

Sarah               Boyd               has               been               with               FastServe               for               15               years               and               has               always               been               a               faithful               and               responsible               employee;               however,               her               position               in               the               office               is               being               automated               and               will               no               longer               be               needed               (Legal               Environment               of               Business,               n.d.).

Removal               of               personal               whose               positions               will               have               to               be               filled,               defeats               the               purpose               of               layoffs.

As               critical               skills               keep               employees               safe               during               times               of               recession,               the               only               other               good               decision               is               to               layoff               Jenny               Mills,               the               downside               is               that               she               is               pregnant               and               may               feel               as               if               her               job               is               being               downsized               due               to               her               change               in               family               size.
               Reviewing               the               attached               table               enables               us               to               understand               the               risk               that               involves               each               of               the               employees               up               for               consideration               for               downsizing.

While               the               company               does               operate               an               "at-will"               employment,               laws               regulating               employers               to               reduce               discrimination,               still               apply               to               the               process               of               separating               employees               from               the               company.

The               highest               risk               for               a               lawsuit               is               Nora               Manson               who               is               an               activist               and               proclaimed               feminist.

While               the               basis               for               her               layoff               would               be               founded,               it               could               still               result               in               a               lawsuit.

Medium               risk               includes               Carl               Haimes,               as               there               is               already               an               issue               with               another               employee               in               regards               to               his               sexual               orientation,               and               adding               his               name               to               the               downsizing               could               send               the               wrong               message               to               other               employees.

Additionally,               Carl               Haimes               has               the               potential               to               be               a               very               productive               member               of               the               upcoming               changes               by               being               a               consultant               for               the               information               systems.

Medium               risk               also               describes               laying               off               Sarah               Boyd               because               Nora               Manson               could               encourage               her               to               file               claims               in               regards               to               age               discrimination;               however,               laying               her               off               with               a               solid               separation               package               could               reduce               both               her               desire               to               do               so               as               well               as               her               ability               to               prove               need               to               a               lawyer.

Finally,               both               Brian               Carter               and               Jenny               Mills               are               low               risk               for               lawsuits               in               that               both               jobs               are               not               necessary               for               the               upcoming               vision               of               FastServe               Inc.,               and               their               jobs               cannot               be               proven               as               essential               -               therefore               arguments               of               medical               (or               pregnancy)               would               not               sustain               a               case               of               discrimination.
               While               there               are               many               cases               that               should               be               considered               for               each               of               the               risks               for               laying-off               the               different               employees,               here               are               some               statements               that               are               to               be               considered:

Three               things               that               influenced               my               decision               most               was               what               actions               I               felt               the               individual               would               take               after               the               firing               process,               the               severance               packages               that               would               be               involved,               and               the               perceived               loss               of               skills               if               the               member               should               leave.
               Finally,               deciding               who               should               stay               and               who               should               go               is               never               an               easy               decision.

Often               I               am               drawn               to               keeping               the               people               who               are               most               productive               and               who               come               to               work               on               time               -               always.

These               are               strong               considerations               for               me,               even               though               sometimes               there               are               other               circumstances               that               must               be               considered.

When               doing               the               simulation               I               wanted               to               fire               Nora               Manson               because               her               productivity               and               absenteeism               made               me               concerned               that               she               was               risky               for               future               production               and               maintaining               goals               that               FastServe               Inc.

might               set               for               the               call               centers;               however,               I               had               to               go               against               that               decision               because               ultimately               she               was               a               high               risk               for               costing               the               company               more               money               to               separate               her               than               to               keep               her.

I               found               that               the               decision               had               to               weigh               in               to               other               matters               -               cost               effectiveness,               as               well               as               legality.

Title               VII               is               very               important               to               making               solid               decisions               that               could               influence               the               course               of               business               for               companies               who               must               make               lay-off               decisions.
               While               I               agreed               that               Carl               Haimes               had               solid               reason               to               be               upset               with               FastServe               Inc.,               and               also               felt               that               he               had               grounds               for               forcing               the               company               to               set               forth               stronger               policies               to               protect               against               the               harassment,               I               would               not               have               found               it               easy               to               agree               with               creating               him               a               new               position               if               it               had               not               been               for               his               job               record               and               reliability.

Often               company               policies               play               a               huge               role               in               enabling               a               company               to               act               effectively               in               preventing               lawsuits               that               may               result               from               downsizing;               unfortunately,               FastServe               Inc.

did               not               have               a               strong               policy               for               addressing               issues               such               as               the               one               that               Carl               Haimes               experienced,               this               could               have               left               the               company               in               a               very               bad               position               if               his               job               had               been               eliminated               with               no               other               position               to               put               him               in.
               Overall,               the               final               decision               for               whom               to               lay-off               was               completed               and               the               final               decisions               were               safe               and               proactive               methods               that               FastServe               Inc.

could               have               faith               would               not               result               in               lawsuits               that               could               cost               the               company               more               money.

Additionally,               it               kept               members               of               the               staff               whose               skill               sets               would               suit               the               company's               current               goals               and               enable               them               to               begin               to               grow               again.
