Create a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation outlining performance-based total compensation plans for two organizations. The organizations must be in different industries, have different employee groups, and utilize different pay strategies.

Describe the pay strategies being used. Because the organizations have different employee groups, the key objectives for each group should be different. Address how pay is used to drive organizational objectives. Include whether or not unions have a role in any of the pay strategies. (Section to bring context only)

slides to be created

Assess  How well does each organization’s reward plan support expectations?

              Which organization has better aligned pay and rewards with key objectives?

Create 2 slides for the presentation. Include brief speaker’s notes, and use at least one APA-formatted sources.

After reviewing the fact pattern below, apply the IRAC method of legal analysis and identify all conduct that may be a tort regardless of the identity of the tortfeasor (though you should identify the tortfeasor and injured party for each tort). Your analysis should:

• Follow the template below of the IRAC
• Be no less than three and no more than six pages in length (double-spaced, 12 point font).
• For the purpose of this exercise, treat the text’s definitions of an intentional tort, negligence and strict liability as the legal rules to be applied. Don’t worry about the whether a particular tort claim has merit, simply examine the facts and apply the rules to identify potential tort claims.

Module 1 Fact Pattern

Example of the IRAC template:

Facts

[Provide summary of key facts.]

Issue(s) Presented

[List the issue to be resolve in the form of a question or a declarative statement (e.g., Is the claim barred by the statute of limitation? Or whether the claim is barred by the statute of limitations. Remember that there may be more than one issue. ]

Rule

[List each legal rule (i.e., Constitutional Provision, Statute, Regulation or Case Law) that must be applied to the facts to resolve each issue. ]

Analysis

[Apply the law to the facts. ]

Conclusion

[State the outcome of applying the law to the facts. ]

DISCUSSIONS

1. “She Snoops to Conquer” Please respond to the following:

• Read Case 9.3: She Snoops to Conquer, located here or on page 346 in your textbook then respond to the following questions. Do employees have a right not to be spied on?

2. “Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital” Please respond to the following:

• Watch the video titled “Full interview: Matt Lauer and Dallas nurse Briana Aguirre” (17 min 25 s), located here. Next, respond to the following questions. Texas Presbyterian nurse Briana Aguirre who treated Ebola stricken colleagues announced publicly that her protective outfit had rips, as well as gaps in it – exposing body parts to the potentially deadly Ebola virus. She claimed that hospital administration ignored her concerns when she brought it to their attention, and she was given no Ebola training. Briana Aguirre has received praise from colleagues and the media for going public with this information, as well as harsh criticism for being a “whistleblower” from other colleagues and the media. In your opinion, did Briana Aguirre act ethically or unethically in going public with this information? Should she be fired from the Texas Presbyterian hospital? Support or challenge Briana Aguirre’s decision to go public with this information.

3. “Overhead Expenses” Please respond to the following:

• From the-Activity, compare and contrast the manner in which VectorCal and other businesses that you researched analyze overhead costs.Select two to three (2-3) methods that the businesses in question used for allocating costs for the analysis of their overhead expenses. Explain your rationale.
• Analyze key ways in which you would make the most use of the cost analysis in supporting VectorCal’s contract with the federal government. Speculate on what you believe would happen if the cost analysis related to the VectorCal’s current federal government contract changed. Justify your response.

e-Activity

• Use the Internet to research articles on overhead costs for companies like VectorCal. Focus on the processes that are involved in calculating these overhead costs. Be prepared to discuss.

4. “G & A Expense” Please respond to the following:

• Specify several advantages of operating a small business when it comes to General and Administrative (G&A) expenses. Determine the single most important advantage that you believe would benefit the small-business owner the most. Explain your answer.
• Compare and contrast the G&A expense from a large company and a smaller company. Determine which characteristics you believe are the most important for both large and small companies. Justify your response for each.

5. “Facility Costs” Please respond to the following:

• Suppose you have been working with the federal government for a period of time, and you decide to form a small company. Explain the difference between depreciation and the facilities capital cost of money. Specify the key advantages of having facilities capital cost of money as an allowable cost. Justify your response.
• Compare and contrast the facility costs of VectorCal and the US Government. Determine at least two advantages for using facility costs for both VectorCal and the US Government. Explain your rationale.

6. “Procedures of FCCOM” Please respond to the following:

• Describe two to three (2-3) circumstances in which facilities capital costs of money is an allowable cost. Determine the single most significant advantage of having facilities capital costs as an allowable cost under the circumstances you described. Support your response.
• Determine two to three (2-3) possible factors that could make facilities capital costs of money unallowable based on the information presented in Chapter 9. Present two to three (2-3) examples of instances where companies have made facility capital costs of money available.

1. Compare and Contrast two yield curves.
Plot a recent nominal constant maturity US Treasury yield curve (from the US Treasury website) and compare it to the one prior to the election result of Donald Trump.
On the same graph, for as many data points as possible, estimate in basis points the amount the yield curve rose due to a change in inflationary expectations (use a stacked line chart to shade this increase onto your plot). Also include an estimate for the real interest rate change. (Also shade the area that was due to a change in ‘real’ interest rate expectations in a different color). Use the TIPS yield curve from the Treasury Website to estimate the change in inflationary vs real interest rates expectations.
(Plot both yield curves on the same graph, use different lines and spend some time making it look clear and pretty. If you can’t shade the graph in excel, then shade it on your print out. Put the estimates for change in real and change in inflationary expectations on the graph somewhere).
2. From your last yield curve estimate a liquidity premium at the 5 year mark, to help estimate where you think the 3 months rate (or Fed Funds Rate) will be in 5 years time. Forward guidance on the Fed Funds rate is offered on the Fed’s website.
3. Attach newspaper article(s) with your printed graph to hand in, that help explain/justify why expectations for future short term interest rates, long term interest rates, and inflationary expectations changed so dramatically.1. Compare and Contrast two yield curves.
