Module 4 – Case
TOTAL REWARDS; EMPLOYEE & LABOR RELATIONS; GLOBAL HR
Assignment Overview
Click both The King Company Background and Total Rewards to
review information on the Company.
Case Assignment
Address the following questions in a well-integrated case
assignment.
Companies often have several policies on time away from
work. What are some examples of time away from work policies found in
private-sector organizations today? Provide employer names from your research.
Discuss how FMLA fits in with other company leave policies
at King.
Some employers only have one Employee Time-Off Policy. Would it be better for King to have one “time
off” policy (e.g., allowing a set number
of days missed regardless of reason) instead of individual absenteeism,
sick-days, vacation, short-term leave, long-term leave policies, FMLA, and
other policies granting time away from work?
Why? Support your response with
research.
Bring in information from at least 4 Trident library sources
to help strengthen and validate your discussion.
Paper length: 4-5 pages (not counting the cover and
reference pages).
Provide private-sector employer examples of HRM programs,
systems, processes, and/or procedures as you address the assignment
requirements. Provide names of the employers. Use different employer examples
in this course than what have been used previously in your other papers and
courses.
Bring in related court case decisions to help augment your
discussion, if applicable.
Make reasonable, cost-effective assumptions in your
paper. It is not an option, however, for
you to hire additional help (temporary or otherwise). State your assumptions in the beginning of
your discussion.

Assignment Expectations
Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in
the Case rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:
Assignment-Driven: Does the paper fully address all aspects
of the assignment? Is the assignment
addressed accurately and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet
minimum length requirements?
Critical Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level
analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions,
and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the
formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic
with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
Business Writing: Is the essay logical, well organized and
well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for
graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are paraphrasing and
synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is
justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct
quotations?
Effective Use of Information: Does the submission
demonstrate that the student has read, understood, and can apply the background
materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective
research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality (library?)
sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions
drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding
of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased
text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references
used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research)
been included, and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the
paper been included on the References page?
Timeliness: Has the assignment been submitted to TLC
(Trident’s learning management system) on or before the module’s due date?
