HealthNut University’s Benefit Program

This activity is important because as a manager, you must be able to determine the most effective benefits to provide to your employees. There are many variables that impact the effectiveness of employee benefits. Evaluating your employees’ preferences, needs, the industry best practices and what the organization can afford are just a few.

The goal of this activity is to demonstrate your understanding of the various types of benefits available to offer employees as well as the regulations that may apply in your organization.

Read the case of the new benefit program at HealthNut University and select the best option for each scenario provided.

The employees at HealthNut University (HNU) have not seen a change in their benefits offered in several years. Meanwhile, the organization is experiencing unprecedented growth in the demand for its services thereby needing to ensure they are able to retain their valuable employees. HNU currently has 482 employees when combining administration, staff, and faculty members in the United States. Mr. Reuben, the Director of HR, has received approval to create a new benefit program for the employees.

Mr. Reuben begins by collecting both benchmark data from the industry best practices as well as conducting a survey of its current employees to identify what they value in a benefit program. While Mr. Reuben understands he will not be able to provide for every need, he knows the options need to be narrowed down to those the company’s employees desire the most.

The survey revealed the employees greatly value time off in various forms as well as an interest in long term benefits. Therefore, in addition to ensuring HealthNut University offers the legally mandated benefits, Mr. Reuben begins creating the new benefit program for HNU.

One of the most important issues for Mr. Reuben to address beyond the desires of the employees for particular types of benefits is that of ensuring each benefit policy is legally compliant. Which law/regulation applies to the benefits the company may utilize?

This needs to be a python3 code

Write a program that prompts the user like this: “Currency to convert to U.S. dollars: e = Euros, c= Chinese Yuan, r = Indian Rupees, b = Bitcoin: ”. Then depending on which letter the user enters, the program displays “Amount of Euros/Yuan/Rupees/Bitcoin to convert: ”. (Note: the second prompt should only name the one currency the user asked to convert, not all four currencies.) After the user enters the amount, the program displays “In U.S. dollars, that is $N”, (N is the amount converted to U.S. dollars).
Conversion rates (from Google, Aug 25, 2019):
• 1 Euro = 1.11 US dollar • 1 Chinese yuan = 0.14 US dollar • 1 Indian rupee = 0.014 US dollar • 1 Bitcoin = 10283.00 US dollar
