Rossi Industries has payroll processes as described in the following paragraphs: When a new employee is hired, the human resources department completes a personnel action form and forwards it to the payroll department. The form contains information such as pay rate, number of exemptions for tax purposes, and the type and amount of payroll deductions. When an employee is terminated or voluntarily separates from Rossi, the human resources department completes a personnel action form to indicate separation and forwards it to the payroll department. Each employee in the production department maintains his own time card weekly. Employees fill out their time cards in ink each day, and at the end of the week, the time cards are forwarded to the payroll department. Employees in the payroll department use the time cards and employee records to prepare a weekly paycheck for each employee who has turned in a time card. A copy of the payroll checks is forwarded to the accounts payable department, and the original payroll checks are forwarded to the cash disbursements department to be signed. The payroll department updates the payroll subsidiary ledger. After the paychecks are signed, they are given to department supervisors to distribute. Any unclaimed checks are returned to the payroll department. Required: 1. Prepare a process map of the payroll processes at Rossi. 2. Identify both internal control strengths and internal control weaknesses of the payroll processes. 3. For any internal control weaknesses, describe suggested improvements

Instructions:

In this exercise, you’ll design a role playing character class. The Character class attributes should include the characters’s name, gender, class* and race (can be human, elf or dwarf), and additional integer attributes of Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma.

Your class should have a constructor that receives this data. For each attribute, provide setters and getters. The class should include methods that calculate and return the user’s total attributes (sums 6 attributes). Write a Java application that prompts for the character’s information, instantiates an object of class Character for that character and prints the information from that object, then calculates and prints the character’s total stats. It should also display the available classes for our application.

An example output:

Name: Draugr
Gender: Male
Class: Fighter
Race: Human

STR: 18
DEX: 12
CON: 15
INT: 9
WIS: 11
CHA: 10

The Dove Spa was a massage parlor, which the police suspected was operating as a prostitution enterprise, but they had no direct evidence to prove it. The police department decided to initiate an undercover operation in which a plainclothes detective entered and asked for the services of one of the women working there. The woman, of course, did not know he was a police officer, or was wearing a hidden microphone. For $100 and a $35 tip, she fondled the officer’s genitals. The same officer went back to the massage parlor four more times. Over a period of five months, the same officer also visited the massage parlor in another town and allowed the women, who were Chinese immigrants, to fondle him in exchange for cash. This was done in an apparent effort to investigate suspected prostitution and human trafficking. Ultimately, 30 police officers raided two businesses and arrested six people—four alleged prostitutes and two alleged pimps. The undercover methods were defended by the police, but were criticized by legal experts and women’s advocates as “excessive, unnecessary, and misapplied” to an investigation that involved suspected human trafficking.

Evaluate the moral permissibility of police officer’s actions in conducting this investigation using the critical thinking skills listed below:

-Isolate and evaluate the relevant facts on both sides

, -Identify the precise moral question to be answered, and

- Apply ethical principles to the moral question based on an objective evaluation of the facts, only then drawing a conclusion.

A Manufacturer with Human-Focused Leadership

Barry-Wehmiller, which earns annual revenues of $1.7 billion from a variety of manufacturing, technology, and consulting industries, takes the belief that leadership should be more about people than the supply chain. Barry-Wehmiller’s Guiding Principles of Leadership describes how it is a people-centered organization: “We measure success by the way we touch the lives of people.” The company believes leaders and companies need to learn how to care about the people that work for them, and not see them merely as “functions” to a corporate goal. For example, the company discontinued the use of timecards after discovering factory workers felt mistrusted because, unlike office workers, they could not make phone calls, get coffee, or perform other normal daily non-work tasks without punching in and out. The approach seems to have made a real difference. Whereas studies generally find that about 80 percent of employees feel their organizations do not care about them, an independent survey of Barry-Wehmiller employees found the exact opposite: 79 percent believed the company did care.

Why has Barry-Wehmiller’s “Truly Human Leadership” approach been successful?

Do you feel that this type of approach is suitable for a manufacturing company?

How do you think this approach contributes to the company’s success?
