You are the Director of HR for a small (120 employee), family owned company that provides cleaning services to local businesses.

The leaders of this company met to discuss the future state of the organization.  It was disclosed that revenues have been on a steady decline for the past three consecutive quarters.  Business is down and during this time period, it has become common to reduce employee hours and cancel shifts.  This has caused a number of problems with employees, given that the “operations” jobs are hourly.  The owner is concerned because of the large amount of employee fixed costs (i.e. insurance, paid time off, etc) and has come to the conclusion that in order to keep the company operational, the number of staff will need to be reduced by 20%.  This is the first time in the company’s history that this type of action will need to be taken and the owner is looking to you for advice as to how to handle this reduction in force.

Prepare a response that addresses the following:

·       How the reductions will be determined (seniority based system vs. performance based)?

·       Any type of communication that needs to occur prior, during and after the reduction.

·       Any other procedural items that need to be considered (i.e. severance, outplacement assistance, legal issues, security, etc.).

I need a  response/recommendations to the owner

Doesn’t have to  be formal, and needs to be APA format like this:

APA

The most common problem is typically with directly quoted material.  When you quote directly (under 40 words), you need to include quotation marks around the passage(s) used, along with the author’s last name, date of publication and page number (or “n.p.” for “no page”).  If the passage is over 40 words it is indented vs. quotation marks, the other citation information is the same.  When you paraphrase material or have used it as a general reference, this means it is in your words.  The correct method of citation is just the author’s last name an date of publication.

Examples:

Direct Quote:  “The ADA provides that qualified individuals with disabilities may not be discriminated against” (Bernardin, 2013, p.86)

Paraphrased: The Americans with Disability Act was passed in 1990, which essentially extends the concept of equal employment to those that have disabilities (Bernardin, 2013).

This may seem like a small difference, however in academia, it is extremely important to not only give credit where credit is due, but also to clearly distinguish your words from someone else’s.

the “rule of thumb” in terms of resources is that approximately 80% of  any given assignment, paper, case study, etc should be authored by you with resources (paraphrased or directly quoted) accounting for the remaining 20%.
