Director Moore stated there was a complaint to the Union against DOH regarding time issues. The proper channel was not followed. Ms. Jones explained the policy on earning comp time/over time when a person takes Medical Leave on the same day. It is not earned at time and half, but rather it is earned as straight time. Ms. Jones suggested more training on how to handle the timesheets since Ms. Mahoney left, especially when Ms. Arrighi is out of the office. This is especially true for whenever a person works on the weekends. An e-mail is needed from management regarding time worked on the weekend, as this is important on the Monday after payroll week ends. It was decided that in order to expedite payroll, e-mail Ms. Jones about hours worked
This case examines the multiple duties that the President and CEO of Midvale Community Hospital, Terry Blaze, participated in throughout the day to ensure that the hospital is running effectively. Throughout the day, Blaze attends numerous meetings, which are directed towards improvements, changes, or concerns that will overall affect the hospital. During several of them, he is required to make final decisions however, he often directs other personnel to make that final judgment call. It was evident that Blaze wore many hats as the President and CEO of the hospital, which made it evident that his time was stretched thin. This could result in tasks going unfinished or completed incorrectly. Some mistakes that may be made may have a major negative impact on the hospital therefore it is pertinent for Blaze to ensure that he is using his time wisely.

The ethical discernment model described by Slosar (2004) and developed for use at Ascension Health will assist us as we analyze this case. It reminds us that discernment engages our spirituality, intellect, imagination, intuition, and beliefs. It is decision-making that reaches into the heart of our beliefs about God, creation, others, and ourselves. It therefore requires structured time for reflection and prayer from the beginning and throughout the process.

One legitimate concern is the possibility of losing uncertified staff members such as bus drivers or cafeteria employees. Critics claim that with the decreased schedule these faculty members will not receive the proper amount of payment to support themselves and or their families. However, this claim, no matter how convincing it may seem, is actually quite refutable. One solution to this problem could be that with the savings acquired from reduced bill costs and all other reduced costs, the uncertified staff could receive adequate payment through these savings. Due to the fact that the days are longer, the uncertified staff members could only miss at the most, one or two hours. As a result of this solution, there is no need to fear issues concerning money with the four-day
Nearly every aspect of law enforcement has a court decision that governs criteria. Most court rulings are the result of civil lawsuit towards a police officer and agency. However, currently, there is no law that mandates law enforcement driver training. When it comes to firearms, negligence by officers has resulted in a multitude of court rulings. Popow v. City of Margate, 1979, is a particularly interesting case that outlines failed firearms training by an agency. In this case, an officer chasing a suspect during a foot pursuit fired at the suspect, striking and killing an innocent bystander (Justia.com, 2017). The court ruled that the agency was “grossly negligent” of “failure to train” (Justia.com, 2017). As a result, nearly every agency requires annual firearms training and has written policy concerning the same. Officers must show proficiency in firearms use every year to maintain their certification. Many states even impose fines on officers for
