Assigned questions:
The original assignment in this module dealt primarily with
employers trying to find wrongdoing/problems/status of and by
employees . We now turn to the question of employee rights and
employer obligations. Using at least two (2) of the foundational
ethical theories studied in Module 2 FOR EACH QUESTION , you should
answer the following questions.   With each answer,
you should discuss the issues and set forth and defend a clear
position.
–Federal law requires that employers pay a minimum wage and pay
overtime, although some believe that the concept of a living
wage is the more ethical standard.  Explain and
defend your position on whether you agree or disagree.
–Is it ethically permissible for an employer to do business
with a supplier who acts legally but perhaps “unethically”? For
example, many foreign countries do not have the health and safety
regulations we consider standard for employees. Is it ethical to do
business with those supplier? Remember to use at least two theories
to discuss.
–Is it ethical for an employer to require as a condition of
employment or use as a consideration for advancement promotion,
that an employee participate in organizations apart from the
business (ie. community non-profit organizations)? Does the type or
nature of the organization make a difference?
–Finally, some opine that employee pay should be tied in part
to the compensation of the owner/chief operating or executive
officer of the business, with the lowest paid employee being paid
no less than a certain percentage of the highest paid employee. Is
this an ethical way of determining compensation?
