The purpose of this assignment is to identify laws and federal regulations governing employment.

Consider what you have learned about employment laws and federal regulations governing employment, particularly regarding the distinctions between independent contractors and employees and how business is conducted with each. Read the scenario below.

Scenario

Madrid and Berne is a top-rated accounting firm with offices in Phoenix and Tucson. Madrid and Berne wanted to provide bookkeeping as an additional service to its clients. It hired Joan Newman Business Services, with offices in Phoenix, Flagstaff, Tucson, and Yuma, to perform contract bookkeeping services for Madrid and Berne clients who requested and needed such services. Madrid and Berne entered into an independent contractor agreement with Joan Newman Business Services. The contract stated that Joan Newman is an independent contractor and agrees that her business is an independent contractor of Madrid and Berne.

After entering into the agreement, Joan worked solely on jobs assigned by Madrid and Berne and was paid a commission for the work. The commission was based upon the fees determined by Madrid and Berne and paid by the clients to Madrid and Berne. Joan was paid on a weekly basis. She used available and unused office space at Madrid and Berne, along with Madrid and Berne's equipment and supplies. This arrangement made it easier for clients to utilize Joan's services and be familiar with the offices. Madrid and Berne reviewed Joan's work and returned faulty work to her for corrections before delivering the completed work to the clients.

Assignment

In a 500-750 word paper, apply what you have learned about the distinctions between employees and independent contractors to the scenario by discussing the following.

  1. Provide an explanation of why it is important to know the distinctions between employees and independent contractors when operating a business.
  2. Discuss the key factors for determining Joan's employee classification using the concepts that have been presented so far in the course and your own research relevant to the scenario.
  3. Using the rules for distinguishing between employee and independent contractor, discuss whether Joan's designation as an independent contractor was correct, and justify your designation by citing laws and federal regulations.

Complete the 3 programming problems in this assignment by using Microsoft Visual Studio Suite. Compile your solutions for each problem solved in a Word or Google document which includes (a) the pseudocode, (b) the C# codes and (c) the execution result (screen capture just the answer part using Snipping Tool, avoiding non-related or blank spaces). Notice for readability, that the (a) & (b) are in text mode and the (c) is in image mode. Use proper titles and wording in the results, such as Console.WriteLine("The total change to be made is {0:C}.", change); so that the results could be easily understood by a third party reader. For all 3 questions, assign the provided initial values to the variables or constants in the source code as input.

You may need to save the snipped image as a JPG file and then insert the file into the document, especially when you use a Google doc. Create just one document for all 3 solutions in this assignment. You may create the document directly from a cloud service or from you PC first and then upload it to a cloud. The possible cloud service could be Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, etc. To submit the document, click the "Write Submission" button under this assignment. Then use the opened editor box to submit the web address of your document on the cloud or, if you are not yet able to use a cloud service, submit the document as an attached file.


Q2. Write a C# program that the number of twenty, ten, five, dollar, quarter, dime, nickel, and penny that a customer should get back as change. The goal is to use the least numbers of bills and coins. Run your program once by initializing the change as $77.92. Then change the source code to initialize the change as $23.27. Record both C# codes and results as images in the submission document. (Hint: It's easier to convert $77.92 to 7792 pennies and use the penny as the basic unit to for all conversions. Alternatively, you may use the dollar for the whole dollar part and the penny for less than one dollar part as the basic units.)

The long-term care center has 225 beds and provides the highest level of patient care, according to on- going Department of Health Services annual surveys. The Director of the long-term center has the overall responsibility of ensuring the continuing high level of quality outcomes while also concurrently keeping the facility as risk free as practical. You and the Director have just returned from an annual Long-Term Care Association symposium where you were both introduced to some new groundbreaking initiatives regarding the differences between risk management and quality improvement.

Earlier in the week, the Director called for a meeting of the center’s department managers, including the Quality Assurance Nurse and the Manager of Risk Management. After briefing them on the symposium talking points, your Director asks you to come up with a working plan and strategy for how the facili-
ty will use both of the concepts you have introduced to arrive at a more centralized and standardized approach. Overall, the desired outcomes focus on adopting a new approach to higher quality with fewer risk factors for the organization.

Later that week, the Manager of Risk Management, the Manager of Nursing Quality Assurance, and a representative from Human Resources met to formulate a new plan to reduce the litigation exposure while concurrently increasing the quality of patient outcomes. They set about the complex set of tasks with the expectation that you, as the Director’s designated facilitator, will be closely reviewing their final recommendations.

Provide a 250-word executive summary of the research project and recommended plan of action that you will provide to the Director.

Address the following:

Questions:

What is the necessary background information needed to complete your executive summary?Who

are the stakeholders?

How do the facility’s current Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) outcomes correspond with the current litigation prevention systems?

What factors within the nursing units are the most critical to consider when examining higher quality outcomes?

What factors within the nursing units are the most critical to consider when examining lower litigation adverse actions and operational impact?

What future steps must be taken to accomplish this directive?

Rationing Issues in Healthcare The concept of rationing healthcare is dealt with on a daily basis....

Rationing Issues in Healthcare

The concept of rationing healthcare is dealt with on a daily basis. Healthcare rationing in the United States exists in various forms. Access to private health insurance is rationed based on price and ability to pay. Those not able to afford a health insurance policy are unable to acquire one, and sometimes, insurance companies prescreen applicants for pre-existing medical conditions and either decline to cover the applicant or apply additional price and medical coverage conditions. Access to state Medicaid programs is restricted by income and asset limits through a means test and to other federal and state eligibility regulations. Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that commonly cover the bulk of the population restrict access to treatment via financial and clinical access limits.

Using the South University Online Library, find a current article (no more than two years old) on rationing issues in healthcare. The article should also be peer-reviewed.

Note: Peer-reviewed refers to articles reviewed and approved by authors' professional peers who are experts on the topic being discussed.

After reading your article, summarize its contents and the main theme discussed. Then, answer the following questions:

How is rationing defined and what criteria are offered to ration care?

Discuss and apply at least one of the major ethical theories to the issue and the ethical decision-making process to the issue.

What do you feel the impact of the issue in the article will be on the healthcare industry? What can be done to ensure rationing is done fairly?

Discuss the major codes of ethics of the stakeholders involved in the issue and how these codes will affect the decision-making process and the final decision.

Examine and discuss the impact that the issue and the final decision will have on the stakeholders involved.

Discuss any potential policy implications for the issue and the final decision.

Compile the summary and answers to the above questions in a 7- to 10-page Microsoft Word document.
