3) Finally, let’s consider productivity and pay. Answer the following questions in a couple of sentences. a) If labor markets are perfectly competitive (many identical employees, many small firms), why must every employee be paid exactly their productivity? In other words, we do we not expect to see firms earning profit off of their employees nor employees earning more at one firm than they could be paid at another similar firm? b) If moving to another firm costs an employee money (either in psychological terms from having to uproot oneself, or in financial terms from having to pay for a moving company and other expenses associated with moving), why might we see firms paying their employees less than the employee’s productivity? c) If the employee has firm specific human capital, why might we see her earning more than any other firm would pay her? Why also might we see her being paid less than her productivity at the current firm? d) Why might an employee with considerable firm specific human capital be less likely to leave his job the longer he is at the company? Consider both the company and the employee

Mr. Lane suffered from a bipolar condition, which caused mood swings from manic to depressive states. When stable he was a very capable worker, but could be very disruptive when in a manic phase. He was trained as an electrical engineer and had been employed successfully in sensitive industries in the past requiring a high security clearance. He worked for a time for Siemens but when they discovered his disorder they terminated his employment. Mr. Lane brought a complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, which was eventually settled between the parties. He then worked for Linmor who were aware of his problem and were able to work around the disruptions. He was highly rated as a valued hardworking and productive employee.

In September 2001 Lane applied for a job at Adga, but did not disclose that he suffered from the bipolar disorder. He was hired but 10 days later he had a manic episode and was terminated immediately. Note that the level of work involved working on NATO military contracts and was quite stressful. It was also time sensitive requiring prompt performance of software development contracts. Lane brought a complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.

1. How should the tribunal respond to his complaint?
2. What do you think should factor into the tribunal’s decision?

A REFLECTION PAPER (PARAGRAPH) ABOUT WHAT I WILL POST DOWN:

This week's assignments are focused on three types of human resources management interventions:

1. Goal Setting
2. Performance Appraisals
3. Rewards Systems

Although all three change programs are relatively new to organization development, they offer powerful methods for managing employee and work group performance. Developing trends point to an increasingly diverse workforce where OD interventions have to be adapted to a diverse set of personal preferences, needs, and lifestyles. Employee stress and wellness interventions acknowledge the connection between worker health and organization productivity.

Additionally, performance management and leadership development programs seek to build leadership skills, socialize managers and leadership in values believed to be important to the organization, and help execute strategic change agendas. These programs can focus on an organization, a department, an employee, or even the processes to build a product or service by aligning organizational resources, systems and employees to strategic objectives and priorities.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how human resources manages individuals and groups while aligning work behavior with organizational strategy.
• Identify workforce diversity trends that are shaping the labor market of today’s organizations.

• Research HR journals, books, texts, articles and websites to support facts discussed in the term paper, citing references.

12-22 (Objectives 12-2, 12-3, 12-4) Each of the following internal controls has been taken from a standard internal control questionnaire used by a CPA firm for assessing control risk in the payroll and personnel cycle.

1. Human resource policies require an investigation of an employment application from new employees. Investigation includes checking the employee’s background, former employers, and references.

2. Approval of department head or foreman on time records is required before preparing payroll.

3. All prenumbered time records are accounted for before beginning data entry for preparation of payroll.

4. The payroll accounting software calculates gross and net pay based on hours inputted and information in employee master files, and payroll accounting personnel double-check the mathematical accuracy on a test basis.

5. The payroll accounting software application will not accept data input for an employee number not contained in the employee master file.

6. Persons preparing the payroll do not perform other payroll duties (e.g., human resources or approval of time records) nor do they have access to payroll data master files or cash.

7. Written termination notices, with properly documented reasons for termination, and approval by an appropriate official are required.

8. All checks and notices of electronic payments not distributed to employees are returned to the treasurer for safekeeping and follow-up.

9. Online ability to add employees or change pay rates to the payroll master file is restricted via passwords to authorized human resource personnel.

Required

1. For each internal control, identify the type(s) of specific control activity (or activities) to which it applies (such as adequate documents and records or physical control over assets and records).

2. For each internal control, identify the transaction-related audit objective(s) to which it applies.

3. For each internal control, identify a specific misstatement that is likely to be prevented if the control exists and is effective.

4. For each control, list a specific misstatement that could result from the absence of the control.

5. For each control, identify one audit test that the auditor could use to uncover misstatements resulting from the absence of the control.

A student counsellor is concerned about students’ stress levels. S/he wants to understand whether students in different courses have similar stress levels.

The following table shows a random sample of students in different courses and their stress levels (n= 214214). Use the table to answer the questions which follow.

1. (1 mark) What proportion of the students in the study have normal stress level? (3dp) Answer

2. (1 mark) What proportion of the Science students have low stress level? (3dp) Answer

3. (1 mark) What proportion of the students have high stress levels were Human Sciences students? (3dp) Answer

The student counsellor would like to answer the following research question: Do students in different courses experience different stress levels? S/he sets up the following null and alternative hypotheses to answer the research question.

H0:H0: There is no association between enrolled course and level of stress. H1:H1: There is an association between enrolled course and level of stress.

4. (1 mark) What is the expected value for Human Sciences students who have low stress levels? (3dp) Answer

5. The absolute value of the test statistic is equal to (type your answer with 3 dp) Answer

6. (1 mark) The degrees of freedom is equal to (type your answer as an integer) Answer

7. (1 mark) The p-value is smaller than 0.05 Answertruefalse

8. (1 mark) We decide that Answerp value is greater than 0.05, therefore we do not reject the null hypotesisp value is less than 0.05, therefore we reject the null hypotesis

9. (2 mark) Our conclusion is that AnswerThere is no association between enrolled course and level of stress.There is an association between enrolled course and level of stress.

10. We are 95% confident that proportion of students with normal stress level for Science is between Answer (lower limit) and Answer (upper limit). Type your answers with 3dp.
