What is a lag policy and how does it affect an organization's ability to attract employees?
What will be an ideal response?
A lag policy is a policy to pay below market rates. It may hinder a firm's ability to attract potential employees. However, if pay level is lagged in return for the promise of higher future returns, such a promise may increase employee commitment and foster teamwork, which may increase productivity. Additionally, it is possible to lag competition on pay level but to lead on other returns from work.

Water Pollution. Taylor Bay Protective Association is a nonprofit corporation established for the purpose of restoring and improving the water quality of Taylor Bay. Local water districts began operating a flood-control project in the area. As part of
the project, a pumping station was developed. Testimony at trial revealed that the pumps were operated contrary to the in-structions provided in the operation and maintenance manual. The pumps acted as vacuums, sucking up silt and depositing the silt in Taylor Bay. Thus, the project resulted in sedimentation and turbidity (a condition of having dense, stirred-up particles) problems in the downstream wa-tercourse of Taylor Bay. The association sued the local water districts, alleging that the pump-ing operations created a nuisance. Do the pumping operations qualify as a common law nui-sance? Who should be responsible for the cleanup costs? Discuss both questions fully.
