In 100 Words state if you agree or disagree with the summary of provided on: How should you document employee counseling sessions and at what point should documentation be sent to HR? PLEASE reframe from using Overuse of ambiguous terms such as it, this, and they should not be used.

Documentation is key in any workplace. I think documentation is something you need to use even when things are going good. Documenting provides employers with information from the past that can help them prove a point. When it comes to documenting employee counseling sessions, I believe anytime you meet with an employee there should be some sort of documenting going on. Creating a file for each employee and using that as backup if ever needed is vital. Personally, I think employers and employees should meet every once in awhile even if things are positive because it will build the trust and relationship between the two. Knowing how things are going with constructive criticism is never a bad idea. I would have two forms of documentation. I would hand write notes when meeting and then convert them into a file on the computer. For problem employees meeting and documenting sessions may have to happen more than just an evaluation type session. This documenting in two places is especially necessary for the employees who are causing the problems. Depending on what is going on in with the employee and at what level of offenses they are breaking that can determine when to go to HR.

If you get to a point when employee counseling is necessary for bad behavior then the individuals actions more than likely warrant HR being sent the information. Even if you give an employee a verbal warning that needs to be documented. In class we have discussed the different meanings for a problem employee and everyone has a different definition of it. In regards to documenting, I would look at the levels of offenses that we discussed earlier in the class and posted about. If you are level 1, where it is a fire able offense then documentation must go to HR because the termination process will more than likely be started. The level 2 offenses are more severe but not fire able, yet, and I would let HR know after a verbal warning followed by one written. Finally, level 3 offenses are the annoying and probably the most difficult because documentation may be ongoing for awhile. In this case, I would hand out a verbal warning then after about 2-3 written warnings, HR would be informed because in many cases these level 3 behaviors will not be on the top of the list for HR to deal with. Keeping HR informed is something that needs to be done, however, because as we talked about in class, having a good relationship with them can help you in the long run.

When the plaintiff was 16, he was employed by Kmart as a cashier. At the end of his training, he was required to read Kmart’s policy agreement, which included an agreement to submit all employment disputes to arbitration. and click online to acknowledge the agreement or click another button to opt out. After clicking on the confirmation, the employee receives the following message: “By clicking below, I acknowledge that I have reviewed and agreed to the terms page 371and conditions set forth in the Arbitration Policy/Agreement. I also understand that I may change my mind and opt out of the Agreement within 30 days of today’s date by returning the Arbitration Policy/Agreement Opt Out form located at the end of the Agreement.” Lopez did not opt out of the agreement.

One month after his eighteenth birthday, Lopez joined a putative class action case against Kmart for failure to provide accurate written wage statements as California Labor Code required. Kmart filed a motion to compel arbitration consistent with the Agreement that Lopez electronically signed. Lopez contended that there was never any valid agreement in the first instance because Plaintiff was a minor when he acknowledged receipt of the Agreement, or in the alternative, because Plaintiff was a minor when he acknowledged the Agreement, he disaffirmed it one month after his eighteenth birthday when he filed his class action.

JUDGE JACQUELINE SCOTT CORLEY California law plainly provides that a minor has the capacity to contract, with the exception of those contracts specifically prohibited…..a minor may make a contract in the same manner as an adult, subject to the power of disaffirmance…. a contract of a minor may be disaffirmed by the minor before majority or within a reasonable time afterwards

Disaffirmance “may be made by any act or declaration” indicating intent to disaffirm; in other words, “express notice to the other party is unnecessary… and “[n]o specific language is required to communicate an intent to disaffirm… The policy behind disaffirmance is clear: it “shields minors from their lack of judgment and experience and confers upon them the right to avoid their contracts in order that they may be protected against their own improvidence and the designs and machinations of other people…. At the same time, the disaffirmance statute also reflects a policy “of discouraging adults from contracting with minors.”

The parties have not cited any California case in which a court considered a minor’s right to disaffirm an employment contract or arbitration agreement with an employer, and this Court has found none. However, no case law is required when the relevant statute spells out the answer: the plain language of Section 6710 entitles Plaintiff to disaffirm the Agreement… Filing the instant action was sufficient to disaffirm the contract. … Plaintiff did so within one month of reaching the age of majority, which by any measure is sufficiently soon to constitute the “reasonable time” that the statute envisions.

Kmart next contends that Section 6710 only applies to contracts for goods and services, not contracts that govern the employment relationship… Section 6710 refers to “a contract of a minor” generally, without reference to the type of contract. Instead, the only limitations the statute includes are the express statutory exceptions in Section 6711 and contracts for necessaries

In short, although Plaintiff entered into a valid arbitration agreement with Kmart, he has exercised his statutory right of disaffirmance, thereby rescinding the contract and rendering it a nullity.

Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration Denied.

CRITICAL THINKING

Kmart’s attorneys argued unsuccessfully that by allowing the minor to disaffirm the employment, the court was discouraging employers from hiring minors in the future. Do you think the court should have given more weight to this argument?

ETHICAL DECISION MAKING

Assume that if the product requested is not in stock, it needs to be manufactured
before the order handling can continue. In this way, an order can never be rejected.
To manufacture a product, the required raw materials have to be ordered. Two
preferred suppliers provide different types of raw material. Depending on the prod-
uct to be manufactured, raw materials may be ordered from either Supplier 1 or
Supplier 2, or from both. Once the raw materials are available, the product can be
manufactured and the order can be confirmed. On the other hand, if the product
is in stock, it is retrieved from the warehouse before confirming the order. Then
the process continues normally. After confirming the order, the shipment address is
received and the requested product is shipped while the invoice is emitted and the
payment is received. Afterwards, the order is archived and the process completes.

The plan must wind up with no units in ending inventory in Period 6. Regular time capacity is 150 units per month. Overtime capacity is 20 units per month. Overtime cost is $30 per unit, backorder cost is $20 per unit, inventory holding cost is $5 per unit, regular time cost of $20 per unit, and beginning inventory is zero.
