Daniel Jones owns and managers Daniel's Restaurant, a 24-hour restaurant near a local hospital. Daniel employs 9 full-time employees and 16 part-time employees. He pays all of the full-time employees by check, the amounts determined by Daniel's bookkeeper, Gina. Daniel pays all of his part-time employees in currency. He computes their wages and withdraws the cash directly from his cash register.

Gina has repeatedly urged Daniel to pay all of his employees by check. But, as Daniel has told his friend who owns a similar business, "My part-time employees prefer the currency over a check. Also, I don't withhold or pay any taxes or worker's compensation insurance on those cash wages because they go totally unrecorded and unnoticed."

Questions -

1. What are the legal and ethical considerations regarding Daniel's handling of his payroll?

2. What are Gina's ethical responsibilities?

3. What are the implications for Daniel’s employees?

Also, cite a reference that you used to prepare your response.

Expert Solution

Q#1. Legal consideration: Not covering up the employees who are part-time under the worker's compensation insurance and not paying the taxes on the salaries being given to part-time workers. Ethically also Daniel's should take care of their workers either part-time for full time and cover them under the insurance plan. As it is an employer's responsibility to take care of its workers ethically as well as legally. Because any firm employing more than 20 workers should get the worker compensation insurance mandatorily.

Q#2. Gina's ethical responsibility to highlight this issue to the competent regulatory authority. She should file a complaint against the Daniels malpractice. She will also be in trouble if any investigation is being carried out.

Q#3. For Daniels employees, they can be in legal trouble because taxes are not being paid. Another issue for them is they are not being covered under any insurance as it is not being recorded that they are working for the Daniels. Therefore, employee well being is compromised.
