In Unit VI of this course, you will be tasked with writing about the dispute process when workers believe that they are treated unjustly. For this assignment, research and solid references need to be found within the Waldorf Online Library (https://www.waldorf.edu/faculty-staff/departments/library/library-resources). For this assignment, you will be creating an annotated bibliography of resources on the dispute process. 

The resources you identify in this bibliography will be used in writing your assignment in Unit VI. By locating the necessary resources in this bibliography, you will be prepared to write your paper in Unit VI. 

Generally, a workers’ compensation dispute is a disagreement between the system participants (e.g., the injured worker, the employer, the employer’s insurance company) that must be settled by the state-specific workers’ compensation board. Most (but not all) disputes generally involve three main areas: 

· an indemnity dispute involving compensability or liability,

· a medical fee dispute for healthcare already provided where the payment has been reduced or denied, or 

· a medical necessity dispute, disputing if a medical procedure is actually medically necessary. 

Using these common disputes as well as others, create an annotated bibliography, and show how those resources will support your paper by briefly describing the content of each article or referenced source. 

When writing your bibliography, think about the different types of coverage available to employees and the fundamentals of claim management. Be sure to include information about these in your bibliography. 

There is no minimum page count for this assignment, but you must include six-to-ten sources in your bibliography and your entry for each reference should be at least 250 words. Each source should be from the Waldorf Online Library, and the assignment should be formatted in APA style 

  

Unit V PowerPoint Presentation 

You are the safety manager for a company that produces widgets in the state of Kentucky. Your business has a solid reputation and is growing and looking to expand to Texas and Georgia in the next few years. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) wants a better understanding of what insurance coverage they need to have for workers’ compensation moving forward in these three states. 

You have partnered with the workers’ compensation manager, and you want to give the SLT a feel for how much money they have spent the past few years and what they should consider for future workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Using information you have learned thus far in the course, make a proposal to the SLT on items they should consider, based on fairly hard facts. Do this by using the OSHA “Safety Pays” Program found here: 

Last year, your company had 12 sprains, four cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, one crushing incident, and the loss of vision for three employees. Your company also has a 6.7% profit margin. Your company pays the first $100,000 aggregate for each category of injuries, and then the insurance company pays the rest.

Option #1: Eminent Domain Analysis

This two- to three-page paper should be focused on the concept of eminent domain. For this paper, go to the Legal Dictionary (Links to an external site.) website and choose one of the three cases. In your paper address the following items:

• Brief history of the case,
• Legal justification for using eminent domain,
• Pros and cons, and
• Your thoughts on a better outcome.

Your paper should pull together information from your course readings and relate lessons from the course to your professional practice. Your paper will be graded based upon your ability to relate any of the readings to your professional practice or to any of your “real world” experiences outside of work. Use your life experiences and occupational backgrounds to frame your approach to any idea, theme, or theory noted by any of the authors. Be sure to use headings for each bullet point listed above. You also can visit the Urban Institute (Links to an external site.) for ideas.

The paper should be 2 to 3 pages (not including title or reference pages), double spaced, in CSU-Global APA format (Links to an external site.), and include a minimum of three (3) scholarly sources.

 

Your internship assignment for this week is with the Office of the Corporate Counsel & Chief Privacy Officer.

Padgett-Beale’s Chief Privacy Officer has invited you to “shadow” the company’s internal investigators as they look into a privacy problem that was uncovered in the Resort Operations organization (see “Background Information” at the end of this message). Your recent experience working in that organization is viewed as a plus since you may have seen or heard something during your time in Resort Operations and Guest Relations.

The CPO has also asked you to assist with identifying a set of appropriate and relevant updates to the company’s internal training program for staff members with access to guest information. The goal of these updates should be to strengthen the training provided to staff so that they understand (a) the importance of maintaining guest privacy and (b) the consequences that may be imposed upon staff who are found to have violated company rules and policies regarding guest privacy.

To begin, read the Background Information section below. Then consult the course readings and do additional research into the privacy, data security, and liability issues surrounding the stated privacy problem.  Next, identify 3 to 5 specific recommendations for appropriate and relevant updates to the Guest Relations staff training program. Remember to focus your research and recommendations upon the hospitality industry (specifically hotels).

*****

Summarize your research and present your recommendations in a 3 to 5 paragraph briefing paper. Please remember to list and cite your sources (APA format preferred).

Background Information

Special requests from guests are entered into the reservation database for use by front desk, concierge, housekeeping, and maintenance personnel. Food service personnel may also need to access this information in order to address special dietary needs. Guests may enter the information themselves using a web-based form or a call center operator may enter it on a guest’s behalf.

The Chief Privacy Officer recently became aware of a disturbing practice in which anonymous staffers have been posting “outrageous guest requests” under the “Humor” section of employee bulletin boards in the Resort Operations staff locker rooms. Some of these postings have included guest names and room numbers along with names and ages of children. This practice is a shocking violation of guests’ privacy and could seriously harm the company’s reputation if the practice were to continue. The bulletin boards have been moved to the semi-public hallway outside the locker rooms as a first step towards stopping this behavior.

A deeper investigation into the situation revealed that the recently revised guest relations privacy policy has strong protections in place that detail (a) who is allowed to access guest information and (b) the permitted uses of guest information. The consequences for violations, as listed in the policy, range from a two-week suspension without pay to termination of employment.

For examples of guest privacy policies, please see these resources:

2. https://www.tajhotels.com/en-in/about-taj-group/legal/privacy-policy/

3. https://www.fourseasons.com/privacy/

Note: for the purposes of writing your discussion response and critiques, you may assume that Padgett-Beale’s guest privacy policy is substantially similar to one or more of the above example policies.
