Week 1 Discussion
Week 1: TLC
Pet Care
TLC Pet Care Centers, a franchise
operation of pet care clinics with boarding, has 56 full-time and 28 part-time
employees at 13 locations. Employees include licensed veterinarians, veterinary
assistants, animal groomers and front desk help. Many of the part-time
employees are high school and college students who help with animals being
boarded, by walking dogs, cleaning cages and helping with check-in and
check-out. The management of TLC Pet Care Centers wants to establish uniform
standards for these part-timers. To ensure that applicants have a real interest
in working with animals, a "veterinary aptitude test" is being
proposed, which would require applicants to identify various cat and dog breeds
from a picture chart and name body parts of dogs and cats with proper
veterinary terms. Another proposal is that each high school or college student
who applies show a grade of "B" or higher in high school or college
biology. Management also wants to insist that part-timers show they've resided
at the same address for at least 6 months, as of way of avoiding hiring
"transient" student labor.
Management also wants all applicants
(full and part-time) to pass a "psychological screening" test to
insure they do not have violent tempers or anger control problems that would
create a risk of an animal being abused. Management is looking for a test to
use for this. In the event an employee is ever suspected of abusing an animal,
TLC's current policy is that the employee will be required to submit to a
polygraph test (lie detector test) regarding the alleged incident. Every
employee must pass a drug screening test prior to being employed, in order to
insure a drug-free workplace. This fact is prominently stated on the top of
TLC's employment application form. In addition, the employee handbook at TLC
states that any employee reporting for work whose conduct causes the manager on
duty to suspect drug use (including alcohol intoxication) is grounds for that
employee to submit to blood or urine testing. Refusal under that circumstance
is grounds for termination.
Are these policies at TLC Pet Care
Centers in compliance with the law? If not, why not?
