As the start-up continues to scale and grow, the chief human resources officer (CHRO) has observed a noticeable uptick in complaints from present and former employees based on real or perceived violations of local, state, and federal employment laws. Complaints such as violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and pay, along with allegations of discrimination and wrongful termination, have started to grow along with the organization. While not having a significant impact on the business, the importance of firmly establishing consistent business practices to support employment law requirements is a concern with the continued growth planned.

Directions

After reviewing recent concerns, the CHRO and in-house counsel have asked you to craft an email to share with leaders across the organization. For this email, you have been asked to select three to four employment laws that you feel are important. While the code of conduct, policies, and other annual and new-employee training sessions are sufficient, the time has come to ensure that the leaders understand their role in supporting employment law within the organization.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Email Considerations: Prepare an email that includes an appropriate subject line, recipients, date and time, and signature.
   1. It is important to consider precisely what group the email will be sent to. Will it be sent as a company communication in which employees can “reply all” or as a “BCC” in which employees will not be able to respond? Why is it important that this group receive this email?
2. Ethical Implications: Describe the ethical implications that should be considered in the situation provided.
3. Legal Implications: Describe legal implications that should be considered in the situation, including specific laws applicable.
4. Specific Approach: Recommend a specific approach for meeting organizational needs while maintaining ethical and responsible practices.
