Word Length: 1,000 words (10% leeway). Students should aim to produce an answer of the recommended length and may be penalised for answers which exceed the word limit by 10% of the recommended length.

Task:  

The client legal advice will require students to provide a written advice to a hypothetical client in relation to a specific factual scenario (or scenarios) that draw on common issues that arise in practice. Students will apply their knowledge of employment and industrial law in order to provide this advice and to answer the specific questions about that factual scenario. 

A bibliography is not required and there is no requirement to set out answers in a letter format. Please use appropriate legal referencing [but note that full citations are not necessary: you can use an abbreviated statute name eg FW Act, s311 (when referring to the sections of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth))].

Before commencing preparation for this task, it is strongly advisable for students to read the UTS Law Faculty’s Guide to Written Communicationhttp://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/law-form-guide-written-communication.pdf . This guide has a section on writing a legal problem question (which is the same aswriting a legal advice).

Turnitin: 

Essays must be submitted online through the turnitin application on UTSCanvas by the due 

date. All essays will be subject to an originality check through turnitin and the results may be 

used in the assessment of the essay. Please use the “UTS: Law Assignment Cover Sheet For Online Submission” 

No extension after assessment handed back: Please note that extensions will only be granted on the basis of illness, misadventure or disability.  Extensions will not be granted for a date after the assessment task is handed back to students. 

Avoiding Academic Misconduct: 

It is the responsibility of each student to not commit academic misconduct (including attempts by students to procure ghost written material, cheat, plagiarise or otherwise act dishonestly in undertaking an assessment task or assisting other students to do so) in the completion and submission of assessment assignments. Students must submit original work (student’s own work and not previously submitted for assessment) for each assessment task. 

Please see the employment and industrial law 79034 subject outline for more information on academic misconduct by students.

List the 5 stages of human growth

  

Select or create an organization for the authentic assessment. In this first assignment, you will begin to develop a training needs analysis (TNA) for your chosen organization. Company is Seventh Sense, a retail CBD company that is doing badly. 

Provide information about the organization and its needs regarding the training issue:

This should include general, high level information about the company in terms of product/services, size, geography, workforce attributes, etc. The training issue is the problem or challenge (could be deficiency OR need based on a predicted change in the operation, workforce, etc.). Here this should be “high level”, focused on the organization (not specifically the individual workers yet).

Determine the group or individuals who will receive the training:

This should include information about the target audience as it will impact the training developed – including demographic information, type of work, location of work, etc.

Identify the training issue:

This is a continuation from item 1. Here you will focus more on the individual workers and/or teams.

NOTE: the training issue should NOT be that they lack training. It should be tied to a performance deficiency or need. 

Provide a training needs assessment questionnaire:

The questionnaire should provide insight into the training need/gap; therefore it should focus on the training issue itself – choose questions that provide insight to the issue. In a sense, the questionnaire helps you identify and analyze the “why” (e.g., if you are addressing a performance issue, the questionnaire would help you hone in on the real issue).

SUGGESTION: think hard about using questions that ask how the audience “feels” about something – you want to obtain the most tangible and useful information.

NOTE: you will NOT administer the questionnaire! 

Your questionnaire should be included as an appendix to your paper – inserting questions within the narrative of your paper does not suffice.

Explain how the questionnaire will be utilized and will lead to the development of training outcomes/learning objectives within your written report:

Here you will essentially validate the questions posed in your questionnaire – if you can’t do that, you should probably revisit your questions.

You will probably not have the time or resources to implement the questionnaire or compile all the organizational and training-specific information necessary to complete the TNA. (If you are able to get real data and results, great! Otherwise, be creative and fabricate results.) The goal is to understand how a TNA is done effectively and to practice completing one.

(Assignment 2 items below)

Include at least three training outcomes, based on the TNA

Identify the expected performance of the group or individuals as a result of the training

Identify performance gaps and detail how training can help close those gaps

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review this week’s readings and Weekly Lecture.

Identifying the proper classification for each position is an important responsibility of the HR department. Depending on the size of the organization, there are various ways that a classification is decided and put into practice. Larger organizations require specific levels of approval of the classification before implementation, whereas with smaller organizations, the determination is often made by the HR director.

For this discussion, take the role of the HR director in a small organization. The organization is adding two new positions to the workforce, and it is your responsibility to determine the classification and compensation categories for each position. Carefully determine the role of each position and the responsibilities of the position within the organization. Determine the logical classifications for each position. Define and defend each category selected for the position and your reasoning for selecting the options. Support your decisions with resources that defend your choices.

Position 1:

This position is responsible for customer service and responding to the complaints of the consumer. The employee will work a 6-hour day, three days a week, with a rotating shift. This position will report to a supervisor and will have no direct reports.

Position 2:

This position is responsible for all accounts payable and accounts receivable. The employee enters all information into a data system and develops monthly reports for the CFO of the organization. This position has four direct reports that perform a variety of accounting duties. This position works an eight-plus-hour-a-day schedule, five-plus days a week, depending on need.
