Module 4 – SLP
TOTAL REWARDS IN
PRACTICE
construction workersAddress the following questions in a
question-and-answer format; that is, state the question and then answer it in
detail.
The Background readings for this module explore the premise
of how contingent workers, who have become a key foundation of the U.S.
workforce, are compensated. In this assignment, compare and contrast the
various aspects of how contingent workers are compensated compared with conventional
workers. As you undertake this comparative analysis, address the following:
How does the employment of contingent employees affect an
organization’s business, its HRM responsibilities, its overall costs, and its
organizational culture?
In your educated opinion, should the compensation of
contingent workers be the same (on a pro-rated basis) as conventional,
full-time employees doing the same work? Discuss, bringing in both the
strengths and challenges this approach presents.
How would you, as the CEO of the company, create a sense of
engagement with the infusion of contingent workers in a workplace that
historically consisted of conventional, full-time employees?
Use at least 2 library sources and/or background readings to
help strengthen and support your 3-page response.
Submit your paper by the module due date.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in
the SLP 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?
