not to submit overtime, moreover, some even worked shifts without submitting for compensation. Since the only member of the current council that was here during this crisis was Mrs. Kay Senter, I would not expect any of you to be aware of the sacrifices made during that time. Consequently, Mr. Alvis may have been an employee of the City during this time, I do not recall. In addition to the reduced hours of compensation, the City also cut step raises and tuition reimbursement among other…

more job opportunities. However, immigrants do not see the impact created in the country upon illegal entry, which not only weakens the value of our national security system, but has also created a large financial drain on the economy. The United States needs a more stringent immigration policy because jobs are being lost, and taxpayer resources are diminishing. The national security’s duty is to protect all that live here in America. One of the most important…

When healthcare costs are moved to the aging population, their only option will be to spend their social security checks to compensation for the increased cost of Medicare. A present middle income wage worker that will retire in 2022 will have to dedicate 51 percent of their social security check to cover the cost of Medicare; that estimate increases by 90 percent and will expend…

Throughout the early 20th century, the experiences that the United States faced dramatically changed the nation’s economy, politics, and society that by the end of the second world war, the country was a dominant world power. The era spanning from the 1900s through the 1940s can be divided into four segments of time: the imperialistic desires of nations and America’s ambition to extend its influence in the global markets by establishing new overseas trading partners, as well as America’s role in…

All 50 states allow medical exemptions, but only 48 offer religious exemptions. Additionally, twenty of those 48 provide broader opt out based on “personal beliefs”. The issue with this remains risking herd immunity- a public health principle where approximately…

For many years now, large majority of states have enacted laws to restrict tort lawsuits in response to problems related to insurance. Despite these enforcement at the state level, all the gaps present in our current tort system is a proof that the federal government should be actively involved in the tort system regulation. I definitely think that tort reform…

EFFECTS OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS ON HRM IN THE USA Many executives in HR departments were at the forefront of helping their employees on 9/11. Poe (2001) and Leonard (2001) profiled HR professionals who helped their employees to safety, helped account for those missing, set up communications links for those missing, and brought in employee assistance program (EAP) counselors for on-site help to those with stress problems. A week after the 9/11 attacks, the main professional association in…

problems? [Worth 20 points] The United States has some major issues concerning the Social Security system. The number of retirees is growing, and they are living longer lives. The pay-as-you-go system, which was created in 1937 as the Federal Insurance Contribution Act, will eventually not be able to cover all the cost of OASI. The surplus money in the Social Security Trust Fund is already shrinking dramatically. We are having a difficult time trying to keep these funds available to those who…

continue with new costly and restrictive regulations. State and federal agencies are using new tools to redefine and recoup resources. Some days having a vision for the months ahead, putting the pieces together to bring about that vision and having a hand on the immediate issues/challenges seem an insurmountable task. Three years ago the State of Kansas decided they were going to save money by hiring “three middle men” to administer Medicaid funds. KanCare offers 3 privatized managed care…
