Dear Willie,

This email is sent to all students.

Some of you have already submitted your Assignment One, and it is apparent that you have NOT reviewed any of the APA announcements or emails that I have sent.

To improve your grades, EVERYONE should review the announcements and emails sent concerning APA and Safe Assign.

If you have submitted already, redo your paper, if you choose, for a better grade.

DO NOT CREATE A CONVERSATION. That is NOT what the questions calls for. Read the instructions. Read the instructions. ONE PAGE – plus title page and reference page.

If you have questions, ASK BEFORE, not after.

That is all.

I have to resubmit my paper.

TITLE IN ALL CAPS, page number # all in the header area every page

Second page:

from this point on, every line is double-spaced. Click on paragraph and set line spacing for 2.

Enter

APA expects that every paper have an introduction and so do I. Type your introduction just giving a brief summary of what is to come in the paper. DO NOT label the introduction. Everyone knows that is what it is.

Type the question as follows:

Center, Bold, UPPER and lower Case, Type the ENTIRE Question. Enter.

Indent and start answering the question. Do not type the question number.

When completed with all questions, then add summary or conclusion, and press CRTL ENTER for new page

Center References enter

remove center

type the following information for all your references:

Last name, Initial., Initial., (date). Title of article, chapter, or webpage title you got your information from. Only the first letter and proper nouns are capitalized and capitalize the first word after a colon. Name of Journal or Book or website in italics, volume in italics(issue in parentheses), page numbers plain without a p. or pp or pg. looking like this: 56(13), 345-455.

If there is no volume or issue, you probably do NOT have a journal article.

If you got your information from a website, then list the home page address for the Journal without the www. It would look like this: cnn.com or dol.gov or ARC.org. To find the date for a web site, if there is no date on the material you are looking at, find the date on any webpage or the home page at the very bottom of each page usually titled: last reviewed. That is what you would use in the text and here.

After listing the journal or book, you give the address where it can be found, UNLESS you have a copy yourself. Then you are done if you have a hard copy of the journal or book. If you have the book, like your textbook, then you list the city comma and two letter state abbreviation, colon, and the name of the publisher of the book. If, however, you “found” it online, then you state where in this manner: Retrieved from http://www.website.com/ whatever _is_on_the_top_of _the_page_where_you_ found_your_information (NO PERIOD). Copy and paste the address here.

To prevent it from looking like the above, insert a space in an applicable area. This will cause a reformat and you can make it look much better and easier to read like this:

When you are finished listing your references, highlight them all, click on the paragraph marker (¶), choose special, choose hanging and make it 0.07″ indentation. Viola!

More info from my professor:

Regarding my request for other areas of human resource regulation, please review chapter 2 as DeNisi and Griffin outline the following for us:

1. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), passed in 1938, is a comprehensive act that regulates minimum wages, overtime, and child labor. The first minimum wage was $.25 per hour.

2. The FLSA allows firms to hire workers less than twenty years of age at 85 percent of the minimum wage for up to ninety days, to encourage the hiring of young trainees.
3. The FLSA defines the workweek in the United States as forty hours per week. Overtime must be paid at time and a half pay.
4. The FLSA covers workers who are nonexempt, or paid on an hourly basis. Exempt employees are salaried professionals who are not covered by the FLSA.
5. Child labor laws covered in the FLSA limit the number of hours that persons under sixteen can work and restrict them from most work destined for interstate commerce. Persons between sixteen and eighteen18 cannot be employed in certain types of hazardous occupations, such as mining.
6. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) does not require that employers provide retirement benefits for employees, but it protects the benefits to which they are entitled.

B. Legal Perspectives on Labor Relations

1. The National Labor Relations Act, or Wagner Act, was passed in 1935 to control and legislate collective bargaining between organizations and labor unions, granting significant rights to workers and unions.
2. The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 and the Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 regulate union actions and their internal affairs in a way that puts them on an equal footing with management and organizations. The Taft-Hartley Act also created the National Labor Relations Board.
3. Collective bargaining is the process used to negotiate a labor contract between a union and management.
4. It is an unfair labor practice for either labor or management to refuse to bargain collectively in good faith.
5. The proposed Employee Free Choice Act (also known as the Union Relief Act of 2009) would drop the secret ballot vote required to certify unions as bargaining units within organizations.

C. Employee Safety and Health

1. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) requires employers directly affecting interstate commerce to provide a workplace free of recognized hazards that are likely to cause death or serious harm.
2. OSHA is enforced by the Department of Labor, which conducts surprise inspections and issues citations for serious violations of the act.

D. Drugs in the Workplace

1. The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 was passed to reduce the use of illegal drugs in the workplace, especially for government employees and contractors, truck drivers, and workers at nuclear reactors.

2. Drug testing is quite widespread, although there is no evidence that it is effective in reducing drug use on the job.

3. Moreover, drug testing raises privacy concerns for employees. Companies often test all employees, not just those with suspected substance abuse problems. Also, do companies have the right to monitor employee behavior while not at work (as drug testing would imply)?
4. Furthermore, drug testing is very unreliable, with a large number of false positive results.

E. Plant Closings and Employee Rights

1. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act of 1988 requires employers with more than 100 employees to provide at least sixty days’ notice of intent to lay off 50 or more workers or close a facility.
2. The penalty is one day’s pay plus benefits for each laid-off employee for each day that notice should have been given. However, exceptional circumstances are taken into account; employers were not penalized in the days following September 11, 2001, for example.

F. Privacy Issues at Work

1. The Privacy Act of 1974 applies only to federal employees, but has affected the writing of several states’ laws. It allows workers to review their employment files for accuracy.
2. Today, new privacy issues include monitoring of employee email and more.
3. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) prohibits companies from compiling genetic-based information about individual workers (i.e., history of family diseases).
3. The Patriot Act has given the government additional latitude to track terrorist activities, which has caused more concern over the invasion of individual privacy.

IV. Evaluating Legal Compliance

The assurance of compliance with the law can best be achieved through a three-step process.

A. Managers must have a clear understanding of the laws that govern every aspect of human resource management.
B. Organizations should rely on their own legal and human resource staffs to answer questions and to periodically review procedures.
C. Organizations should engage in external legal audits of their human resource management procedures.

Please explain the difference in the definitions of human resource management/systems and what the regulations are all about.
