One major advantage of corporate ownership is limited liability of shareholders. Let's say that Emma is the primary shareholder of a family based corporation that owns five laundromats in town. Emma's company needs to borrow $350,000 from the bank to expand its business. As President, she signs a promissory note with the bank on behalf of the corporation. The banker also asks that she sign another document in which she is personally liable for the loan in the event the corporation cannot repay it. The three other shareholders, Tom, James and Linda, do not sign the paper to be personally liable. If the company goes bankrupt and the bank loan is not paid, is Emma personally liable to the bank for the balance on the note or is she not liable since the loan was given to the corporation?

Laura, a recent graduate from a human resources diploma program from a local community college, has just landed her first role as a human resources coordinator at a small bottling company. Upper management has made it clear that they want Laura to make the updating of the current human resources manual her first priority. During her second week on the job, Laura was strolling down the hallway toward the break room to get herself a cup of coffee when she passed the director of marketing’s office. As she passed, she noticed an inappropriate picture of a woman visible on his computer. Shocked at what she had just seen, Laura continued down the hall, not sure what to do next. Upon returning to her office, Laura decided the best way to start revising the manual was to introduce a policy on appropriate computer use. She felt this would address the problem as she didn’t want to start her new job on a negative note by reporting the director of marketing to the CEO without a clear policy in place.

1. Do you agree with how Laura handled this situation? If so, why? If not, what would you have done differently?

2. Is it important for this company to have such a policy in place? If so, how can the employment (labour) standards act in your province/territory help in drafting a policy on appropriate computer use?
