Discuss terms vicarious liability and corporate liability

Discuss terms vicarious liability and corporate liability

This module provided some insight into the doctrines of vicarious and corporate liability. These are both just as serious as employee negligence. In fact, in most cases, the organization is named with alongside the employee in a negligence lawsuit. This is not a new phenomenon as highlighted in the case “Norton v. Argonaut Insurance Co”. These events occurred in 1959. For this assignment, please read the case and appeal (http://www.leagle.com.) After reading the case, please answer the following questions:

1. Briefly discuss the terms vicarious liability and corporate liability.

2. Identify the various mistakes in the case and indicate which type of liability might result.

3. As the facility administrator, chief of staff, or chief of nursing, what steps would you take to prevent this from happening again?

4. This case happened over 50 years ago. What safeguards are in place today to prevent these types of mistakes?

5. What does pretermitting mean? Does it apply to this case?

Describe the disciplinary process

Describe the disciplinary process

Most modern organizations choose to handle employee disciplinary problems through a fair and equitable approach to the issue. For example, the organization might respond to a first offense with a minimal form of discipline and deal with subsequent offenses with more serious corrective actions. Of course, all of this depends on the severity of the infraction as well as the past history of disciplinary problems of the offender.

For this assignment, consider yourself a supervisor with a security organization faced with resolving the problems listed below. In each of these cases, you are to describe the disciplinary process that you would take with the individual and explain why you chose to handle the specific situation in the manner you selected.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

1. It has been reported to you by a manager of your client company that one of your employees has been noted to have been sleeping on the job.

What would be your response if this employee had previously been reprimanded by the organization?

2. While making your rounds, you hear one of your male security employees telling a sexist joke to a female employee of the company.

What would your response be if this employee had previously been reported for the same type of complaint?

3. One of your security employees advises you that he believes that another one of your security employees has been taking merchandise from the organization that hired your security company. This employee has not actually seen the security officer take the merchandise but observed him placing a box in the dumpster and then, after getting off work, backing his truck up to the dumpster and taking what appears to be the same box out of the dumpster, placing it in his vehicle.

What would your response be with regard to the legal ramifications of this behavior?

Describe the function of the baseline behavior

• Describe the target behavior.

• Outline the dimensions of measurement/baseline measurement.

• Describe the function of the baseline behavior.

• Outline the goals of the behavioral change.

Type of potential criminal activities

Type of potential criminal activities

This week, you need to design a CASE for other student to investigate. As an example; you should generate the following materials:

1. A case description. For example, what kind of suspect you have, and what kind of potential criminal activities the suspect may have committed?

2. Generate some potential files (you may delete or overwrite etc.) on a floppy drive or a small size USB memory stick (the image could be huge if you use a big USB memory stick). Use some tools discussed in the VirtualTools message to make a bit-by-bit image of your floppy image. Though you can delete and do any kind of activities, it is important that you should have some traces for other students to find the evidence on your image in next week. For your reference, you may follow the styles in http://dftt.sourceforge.net/ for your case image generation. Since many laptops do not come with floppy drive, you may work on a virtual floppy drive (that is, all software based images). Some tools are discussed in the VirtualTool message.

3. A detailed report on what kind of evidence you expect the other students to find.
