Assignment Description
This assignment engages the student in identifying the general requirements regarding the application of the Employment Standards Act (ESA), the minimum standards that apply to workers in Ontario, and the protections available to employees.
Briefly discuss each paragraph of the fact scenario in the context of the ESA and support your findings with proper statutory/regulatory citation. Provide your answers in the form of a legal memorandum, setting out your response to each paragraph.
Note: Do not copy and paste the provision.
Draft the claim to the MOL on behalf of your client, Ms. Yasmin. Students may make up any information such as identity information but cannot alter facts as presented in the fact scenario.
Note: When details are required on the form, be sure that your description focuses on material facts and issues. Also, be certain that your writing is clear concise, succinct and free of spelling and grammatical errors.
Fact Scenario:
Ms. Fatima Yasmin recently graduated from college and after working briefly in another dental office, was hired by Dr. Asif Khan as a dental assistant on January 2, YR-00. She and the doctor did not sign anything. Ms. Yasmin alleged that Dr. Khan agreed to pay her the minimum wage per hour with a gradual increase to her rate of pay to the average rate in the industry. Prior to accepting the position with Dr. Khans office, Ms. Yasmin had been working for another dentist making $17.00 per hour. Ms. Yasmin had agreed to accept the position with Dr. Khan because she would be saving money from commuting and because Dr. Khan was part of her community.
When Ms. Yasmin was hired, Dr. Khan told her that she must report to work one half hour (for which she would not be paid) prior to her scheduled shift in order to set up and get changed into her scrubs.
Ms. Yasmin worked six days per week, eight-hour shift and was paid every 2 weeks.
Dr. Khan expected her to undergo a two week training period to learn about his practice and the front desk. Ms. Yasmin was required to undergo training during the first two working weeks in the day shift (10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) prior to her scheduled 3:00 p.m. afternoon shift. She was not paid for this training.
From time to time the doctor was calling her on a short notice to work an additional shift in the morning and she had to comply with the request. Once she could not come and the doctor was very angry with her. Ms. Yasmin did not keep record about her working additional shifts.
In the summer she asked for time off for vacation for two weeks, but the doctor said that the office is very busy and did not allow it. Ms. Yasmin alleges that the doctor did not let her go on vacation out of malice – the office was not that busy and there were other assistants willing to work additional shifts.
In the dental office there was no place to take breaks or to have lunch or snack, which was causing great inconvenience to all dental assistants. Ms. Yasmin could eat her food only if any room is vacant from patients, and afterwards the doctor complained from the strong smell of her food, still lingering in the premise. Sometimes, due to the busy schedule with patients appointments, Ms. Yasmin could not take a break and eat her food. She could take a nib only if a patient was late for appointment.
Ms. Yasmin complained that in December of the same year she was hired, she did not receive pay for the Christmas holidays. When she asked Dr. Khan why she did not receive pay, Dr. Khan replied that people do not get paid when they do not work. Ms. Yasmin made a similar inquiry in the previous year following Family Day and Good Friday and received the same reply from Dr. Khan.
Ms. Yasmin was wondering what her employment rights were and she did not know how to find out. Her colleagues were of no assistance since the majority of them did not speak very well English. When Ms. Yasmin approached Dr. Khan with a question about her employment issues, he did not provide any other answer but This is my practice. Take it or leave it. There was no information about the ESA or any rights or entitlements in the office.
Now, one year after the commencement of her employment, Ms. Yasmin considers leaving her employer. She asks you would she be able to file a claim after she leaves, or she needs to do so during her employment.

Statistics

The B&K Real Estate Company sells homes and is currently
serving the Southeast region. It has recently expanded to cover
the
Northeast states. The B&K realtors are excited to now cover the
entire East Coast and are working to prepare their southern
agents to expand their reach to the Northeast.
B&K has hired your company to analyze the Northeast home
listing prices in order to give information to their agents about
the mean listing price at 95% confidence. Your company offers
two
analysis packages: one based on a sample size of 100 listings,
and another based on a sample size of 1,000 listings. Because
there is an additional cost for data collection, your company
charges more for the package with 1,000 listings than for the
package with 100 listings.
Sample size of 100 listings:
95% confidence interval for the mean of the Northeast
house listing price has a margin of error of $25,000
Cost for service to B&K: $2,000
Sample size of 1,000 listings:
95% confidence interval for the mean of the Northeast
house listing price has a margin of error of $5,000
Cost for service to B&K: $10,000
The B&K management team does not understand the tradeoff between confidence level, sample size, and margin of error. B&K
would like you to come back with your recommendation of the
sample size that would provide the sales agents with the best
understanding of northeast home prices at the lowest cost for
service to B&K.
In other words, which option is preferable?
Spending more on data collection and having a smaller
margin of error
Spending less on data collection and having a larger
margin of error
Choosing an option somewhere in the middle
For your initial post:
Formulate a recommendation and write a confidence statement in the context of this scenario. For the purposes of
writing your confidence statement, assume the sample mean house listing price is $310,000 for both packages. I am [#] % confident the true mean . . . [in context].
Explain the factors that went into your recommendation, including a discussion of the margin of error

Culture Shock (Intercultural Communication)

Objective: To experience and observe your reactions to the “not-OK” feelings of disorientation in a strange cultural environment.

Rationale:
This activity is based on two widely recognized premises:
1. That culture shock is endemic; we cannot inoculate ourselves against it, but we can improve our recover mechanisms, and
2. that “not-OK” feelings, once recognized have a tendency to disappear.

Procedure: Within your present cultural environment select a particular location that seems especially “foreign” to you, and plan to visit it. The location must meet only three conditions:

1. Your stay should be for at least two hours.
2. You should be able to be a participant-observer within the location you choose. Do not arrange a “guided tour”. Attempt to involve yourself directly in the activities of your chosen location.
3. You must keep a record (notebook) of your experiences, thoughts, and feelings in your foreign environment.

Examples of activities: assisting nurses in a mental hospital, if you are heterosexual: visiting a gay nightclub, participating in an unfamiliar religious ceremony, spending an evening with an unfamiliar ethnic group. There are many possibilities. The critical element is to choose something very different from what you are used to and which causes — even as you think about it — some sensation of discomfort.

Format for submission:

Your report should be approximately four double spaced typed spaces. In the report you should demonstrate knowledge of course concepts and address the following topics:

1. Describe the event, its purpose, the cultural group originating from the even, when it occurred, where it occurred.
2. Are their similar events in your culture?
3. What did you see and experience at this event that you feel confident you understood accurately?
4. What did you notice that was culturally puzzling to you?
5. How did you feel or respond personally to being in a different cultural situation that was not as predictable as communication in your own culture?
6. Describe an important conclusion due to your participation in this event.
7. Demonstrate that you have a thorough understanding of culture shock and its dimensions

International Business

Option 2: Chapter 6 (The Legal/Political Environment of Global Business)
For this topic, you will be asked to discuss one of these government regulations or laws as implemented in a country of your choice. Examples include Contract Law, Tax law, Antitrust law, Product Safety law, Dispute Settlement law, Intellectual Property Protection law etc. Check out pages 153-160 of eText. Select a relevant peer-reviewed article (published in the last 5 years) that discusses at least one relevant law from the list above:
Part 1: (a) Provide a summary paragraph of the selected peer-reviewed article. (b) Explain what are the objectives of the government in introducing the law in the country you selected. The summary should provide readers with sufficient information about the law as well key or interesting findings using your own words. Note that the article should not be an internet article or an opinion piece. It should be from one of the library databases(e.g. ABI/INFORM) to be considered a credible source
Part 2. Identify and discuss at least 2 key lessons that you learned from reading this selected article. These should relate to the challenges of implementing or complying with the specific requirements of the law in a global business environment.

Do you have an introduction that clearly states your research question (just one question, not a group of questions)?

Please read the Course Outline for the detailed description of this assignment and for the its due date.
Click on the “Week Two Assignment – Research Plan” link above to submit your assignment, as well to get more information regarding the due date and grading rubric.
Here is a checklist for the assignment.

Does your paper have a cover sheet, in APA format?
Do you have an introduction that clearly states your research question (just one question, not a group of questions)?
Is your question focused on the impact of ONE named technology (not technology in general) on a specific population or problem, and does it have a clear measurement, as discussed in week 1?
Do you have at least three papers, one each from three disciplines?
Are the papers peer-reviewed?
Have you noted the background of the first author of each paper to make it clear what discipline you are assigning their paper to, and why?
Did you cite the paper in-text, in APA? Each source should be cited where it is used, in APA. In APA, a citation of a paper by Smith, Jones and Blue written in 2018 that cites page 15 would be: (Smith, Jones, & Blue, 2018, p. 15)
Do you have a reference page, listing your sources in APA format?
Have you run a grammar and spelling checker on the paper?
Did you write this as a paper, NOT an annotated bibliography? The discussion of the authors, etc should be in the narrative, not just one word above a source, or any other format.
From the Course Outline:
Prepare a summary of your planned research question. How does it fit the theme? Where will you find your sources? Why is it an interdisciplinary problem, and what will each discipline contribute to the solution? The research question or problem should be a clearly-stated question with a measurable outcome (to be discussed during the week 1 chat.) The assignment must be submitted as to the NU dropbox as a Word file, and should be between 350 and 700 words. APA style is required. You must state the three disciplines you will be using and include at least one primary source from each discipline. A newspaper article that quotes three experts is not acceptable: you must use the peer-reviewed literature of the discipline in question, from the NU library.

For example, if medicine is your discipline, an article in the New England Journal of Medicine would be an acceptable source. A New York Times article that quoted a doctor would not. The discipline of an article is determined by looking up the first (lead) author of that article and seeing what that authors discipline is. The discipline is NOT based on the content of the article or name of the journal. Feedback on this plan will constitute your approval to go forward with your research topic (or adapt it, as the case may be.) Expect to have some interactions with the instructor during week 3 to tune up the proposal if needed. Proposals without cited peer-reviewed references will be returned unread and given a zero grade.

Humanities: Art, history, languages, literature, music, philosophy, religion, theater

Natural and applied sciences: Biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, mathematics, physics, medicine

Social sciences: Anthropology, education, geography, law, political science, psychology, sociology
So you would have the choice to choose each discipline branch so for example humanities you would pick art, for natural l sciences you would pick biology, and for social sciences you would pick geography.

Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States Black/African American. Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?
Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?
Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and public health content.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
