Employment and Labor Law
Individual Project 3 pages
The company you work for is
considering changing its applicant testing process. Your supervisor has
asked you to research testing methods and make your recommendation. This
proposal will be submitted to the vice president for review and
consideration.
For the purpose of this assignment,
it helps to have a specific type of organization in mind. Provide an
opening paragraph stating the nature of the company you are choosing for
this assignment (e.g., retail organization, factory, school, police
department, etc). You may be creative in what type of organization you
choose.
Select (at minimum) 3 major types of
tests (examples include cognitive abilities, motor and physical
abilities, personality and interests, achievement tests, work sampling,
etc.).
- Discuss the legal and ethical implications you see with each test.
- What specific employment laws will be a factor?
- What adverse impact (if any) may be created in using each test, and how could that be minimized?
Based
on the results of that compare/contrast, which testing method do you
believe may be the most appropriate for your organization and why?
- Remember to compare and contrast testing methods specifically to demonstrate how the methodologies you have not selected may have more negative ethical and legal consequences than the one you have selected.
Within the proposal, you should also
discuss ways in which advancements in technology have helped to make
the applicant testing and selection process more efficient and
effective.

You have just been hired by Greg’s
Goofy Gadgets. You are an IT professional, and you are tasked solely
with fixing computers for the company. The position is temporary—it is a
6-month contract. You will be paid $14.00 per hour, and taxes will not
be withheld; you will be responsible for paying them on your own. The
company has provided you with a computer to use while you are on the
job, and it also hired 2 students on college break to work under you for
the duration of the project; you will be considered their
manager. Discuss whether you will be considered an independent
contractor.
Be sure to answer the following questions to defend your position:
- What are the factors the court looks at in determining whether a person is an independent contractor?
- Are you an agent of the company? What constitutes an agent?
- Based on the facts in the scenario, are you an independent contractor or an employee?
