21

How can four schools of thought on the labor problem from Chapter 2 be useful to considering options to regulating globalization to limit short term costs and problems associated with exploitation?

The alternatives to govern the global workplace parallel the alternatives for workplace governance (i.e., the four schools of thought on industrial relations). First, the free market argument suggests that no regulations are necessary and that, left to its own devices, the free market will determine the optimal outcomes for producers, consumers, and workers. Second, a human resource management perspective would suggest that corporate self-monitoring is the best approach. This position would advocate the adoption of corporate codes of conduct and the spread of best human resource management practices. Third, an industrial relations perspective would suggest that what is needed is a strong labor movement worldwide. This perspective would advocate a mix of laws protecting worker rights to unionization and protective labor legislation. Finally, the critical industrial relations perspective would suggest that none of these methods will be successful and that the only solution is worker control over factors of production, perhaps starting with a strong socialistic labor movement worldwide.

What is sick leave? Why is sick leave problematic for many employers? Discuss some ways organizations can reduce sick leave related costs

Answer: Sick leave provides pay to employees when they are out of work due to illness. Most sick leave policies grant full pay for a set number of sick days and the sick days accumulate over time. The problem with sick leave is that many employees use sick leave for reasons other than illness. Some use the days as vacation or to take care of family issues, personal needs, and stress. Such absenteeism costs U.S. employers perhaps $100 billion per year, with personal illness accounting for about a third of the absences.

Employers use several tactics to reduce excessive sick leave absence. Some repurchase unused sick leave at the end of the year by paying their employees a sum for each unused sick day. The problem is that legitimately sick employees may come to work. Others hold monthly lotteries in which only employees with perfect monthly attendance are eligible for a cash prize. At Marriott, employees can trade the value of some sick days for other benefits. Others aggressively investigate all absences, calling absent employees at home. Many employers use pooled paid leave plans (or "banks"). These plans lump together sick leave, vacation, and personal days into a single leave pool.
