Case Study Off the Job Behavior Overview You will remember that HR professionals are often criticized as being vacillators who often give the dreaded response of "It depends" when asked about the legality of a situation. Balancing the rights of employees with protecting the organization is often complex and may deal with employee behavior both on and off the job. This exercise will shed some light on how off-the-job behaviors may impact the organization and what Winn-Dixie chose to do about perceived damage to their image. Reviewing this case study will reveal the complexity of employment law and the dilemma it poses for HR professionals who want to both support employees in the best way possible and protect the organization at the same time. Here are several tips for successfully completing this case study: You should incorporate information from the textbook, the lectures, and/or the discussion threads to support your position. In other words, tell me more than just your opinion. Provide some relevant facts from the course material to support your position. Make sure to fully explore your thoughts with each question. The Internet also has a wealth of information on this topic and you are free to use these sources to supplement your assignment if you desire. In the Webliography section of the course (top, far-right tab) are a number of websites that you can use to help you complete this assignment. If you research your own Internet sources, be cautious about your source. Make sure that the site is from a reputable organization. Your answer for EACH question must be within the range of 250 to 350 words (use MS Word- "Word Count" feature on the "Review" tab to ensure that your answer is not too brief or too verbose). Be sure to answer each question fully, because you are subject to point deductions for incomplete answers. Use 1.5 line spacing. Also, please remember that you MUST use proper APA citations (please review APA format requirements in the Syllabus for all assignments). Also, do not rely too heavily on borrowed material. It should NOT dominate your work. Point deductions will occur if more than 15% of the answer is borrowed. I want to read YOUR thoughts on these questions. However, I do expect at least some citations and references for all assignments.
