Course Objective(s):
Identify the legal factors involved in managing the property of a hospitality business.
Assignment
An
employee handbook is an important communication tool between you and
your employees. A well-written handbook will establish the rights and
obligations of employees. It also should describe your legal obligations
as an employer as well as the expectations of employers. A
poorly-written handbook can create more problems than it prevents.
LCB
Hotel has determined that some sections of its employee handbook need
to be updated. Members of the group will decide how to assign the
different sections of the employee manual. Be sure to address the
following:
- Equal employment and nondiscrimination policies (hiring, promotion, and termination)
- Americans with Disabilities Act
- Surveillance in the workplace (including the use of e-mail and hotel computers)
- Drug testing
Note: There will be 2 additional sections that will be added by the group in the group portion:
- Mission statement
- General policies and procedures
The
group should then collate the examples and present preventive measures
for each example to incorporate into a training manual.
