You Decide Week 6
1. | Question : | Teddy's Supplies' CEO has asked you to advise him on the facts of the case and your opinion of their potential liability. Write a memo to him that states your view of whether the company is exposed to liability on all issues you feel are in play. Include in your memo any laws that apply and any precedent cases either for or against Teddy's case that impact liability. Include your opinion of the "worst case" of damages the company may have to pay to Virginia. | | | Student Answer: | | Mr. Moore, As per your request as to whether Teddy’s Supplies is potentially liable for the harassment charges the answer is “Yes”. Your company is liable for the conduct of your employees. You have a sexual harassment policy in place that was violated. Your employees created a hostile work environment that is clearly stated that “zero-tolerance” will be in place to keep a safe work environment. You also stated in your policy that harassing behavior is prohibited and banned. Although Ms. Pollard never filed a complaint but did mention she was being picked on. Mr. King was way out of line posting a sign that reads “HARDHAT REQUIRED/BRA OPTIONAL”. This type of behavior from management calls for serious reprimanding. Mr. King was quoted telling Ms. Pollard that she needs to “grow some balls” and “get over herself” when she told Mr. King she felt she was being picked on. These are all very serious allegations. Not to mention the truck incident or the slapping her backside incident. You have some stiff charges against the company. The worst case scenario for damages would be monetary and an apology from everyone who offended Ms. Pollard. Ms. Pollard’s attorneys could ask for amounts in the thousands. At least $100,000.00 in damages. | | | | Comments: | Your memo went into some detail regarding the liability of Teddy's Phyllis. Kudos! However, a full credit response would include case law as required in the question to support your opinion. | | |

    In one incident Mr. King and the other warehouse workers put a sign on a truck that read "HARDHAT REQUIRED/BRA OPTIONAL." King and another employee called Pollard over to look at the sign and encouraged her to do as it said. This clearly indicates that Mr. King had knowledge of the harassment. Mr. King’s conduct was sufficiently serious to alter the conditions of Ms. Pollard’s employment and constitute an abusive working environment. Teddy’s Supplies can be held liable for the harassment of its supervisory employees because the harassment was pervasive enough to support an inference that the employer had "knowledge, or constructive knowledge" of it; under traditional agency principles Mr. King and the other male workers were acting as the agents for Teddy’s Supplies when they committed the harassing acts.…

    Is Software Inc. liable for the cost of the ring Coleman stole? I would say no. Even though Coleman was on a business trip acting as an agent of the company, going to the jewelry store was not part of his job. “A person dealing with an agent cannot hold the principal liable for any act or transaction of the agent not within the scope of his/her actual or apparent authority” (USLEGAL, Inc., 2012). If Coleman had been in the jewelry store doing business, then Software Inc. could be held liable.…

    The case is about Southside HMO, which serves 495,000 members throughout the eastern region of the United States. It has come to your attention that several members or patients who participate in your plan have filed a complaint that your HMO plan does not provide quality healthcare delivery. Several patients have been denied healthcare services to see specialists to whom they were referred by their primary care providers.so the board of directors has asked to provide a report detailing the strategies and recommendations to investigate the complaints and to identify strategies to ensure that quality management initiatives are in place to make sure that quality healthcare services are provided to all members.
