Pre Seminar Assignment:

This unit covers human resources with respect to small business.  We specifically have been addressing the responsibilities from employers to employees.  We have looked at the responsibilities that employers have in terms of legal, ethical, hiring practices, rules and regulations, pay and compensation.

We have probably all been employees at one point in our lives.  The question is do we as employees have an obligation to our employer?  If so, are there any legal obligations that employees are bound by to employers?  Research some of these questions and summarize them in a one page paper to be uploaded to Dropbox prior to the seminar. Be sure to include the source(s) where you found your answers.  For example if it was a website include the URL link in your answer.

1. What is the responsibility of the employee to the employer?
2. Are there any ethical responsibilities?
3. What about any legal responsibilities such as an employment contract?
4. Are employees responsible to report fraud or corruption?
5. Are employees required to give notice upon leaving work for another employer?
