Policy and Procedure

Before the final submission of the course project, you are encouraged to revise your project based on the peer feedback you received in Unit 9. You are encouraged to refer to the Policy and Procedure course project description to ensure your final submission meets all of the grading criteria and project requirements.
The final assignment should summarize the garden center’s policy and procedure for each of the topics presented in the course, include examples of how laws are described to management, and justify the decisions you made throughout the process. Remember that the garden center management is the audience for your paper and is not familiar with employment law. Address the following topics in the paper:
Analyze the garden center’s policy and procedures that ensure the hiring process is fair and consistent.
Justify the organization of the staff. Include a table or a grid that details the categories of the staff used during the peak season. As stated in the project description, the garden center operates year round, but of course has many seasonal workers during spring, summer, and early fall to meet peak season demands. There are two people running operations, and two on-site supervisors. The operations and supervisor roles are exempt positions, while the cashier positions, stockers, and plant care specialists are all nonexempt roles. All are hired at-will. Address the following topics:
Indicate the number of staff members and their job titles.
Describe the employment categories of each staff member.
Argue why this breakdown works well for the garden center.
Explain the safety concerns for all employees working at the garden center and plans to mitigate them, especially those who do a lot of lifting or who may be subject to repetitive stress.
In the event of an injury, explain how the organization can accommodate employees working in each role.
Analyze the policy and procedure used in the event of an employee termination. Explain how the process ensures that employees’ rights are not violated.
Analyze the garden center’s current and potential liabilities, and propose strategies for prevention and recovery from liabilities.
Summarize how the policies and procedures align with the company’s vision and mission statements and expression of the letter of the law as they pertain to the workplace.
Provide a clear explanation of each employment law that applies to each situation noted in the garden center scenario.
