Genetally contract work, which is done by a "contractor" is for a certain period of time. Like anything from a week long job painting a house to a 15 month project developing a component on a fighter jet and once the work is complete the contractor is no longer needed. He/she isn't fired, just let go at the end of their contracted time frame. A tenured employee would be like a profressor or something..generally these employees cannot be laid off...they can be fired if they do something to warrent it, but they are pretty much permament employees.

How can you describe three business communication situations in which a technology channel would be inappropriate for exchanging information?

Three business communication situations in which a technology channel would be inappropriate for exchanging information are:When understanding of a reaction to the information being presented is needed, face-to-face communication is preferred. This provides the opportunity to read body language and tone of voice.For preventing and resolving conflicts, face-to-face communication is preferred. Again, body language and tone of voice can be read this way. Also, miscommunication is more easily avoidable.If someone is being laid-off or another change in responsibilities is being made, the employee should be told face-to-face.

What do you understand by the term concurrency?

The term concurrency means the property of being concurrent; concurrent means happening at the same time. It is often used in respect to jail sentences. Some people get to serve two or more jail sentences for different crimes at the same time. Or, someone could hold two different offices at the same time. One could therefore be serving concurrent jail sentences, or holding concurrent offices. We could then question the wisdom of the concurrency of the sentences or the offices.

You can only take money out of their paycheck if you have a contract about being able to do this. The employee must agree to this beforehand.


Would you be willing to work as a temporary or contract employee?

Answer Given the chance I'd sooner work by contract than on an hourly basis and I will tell you why. When you work by contract, you set the hours that you need to work so instead of being a 9 to 5 employee, you work whatever hours it takes to get the job done and by working as a contract employee, you build a reputation of getting the job done, without supervision as you would be your own Supervisor.


What is a contract employee?

A contract employee is someone who is "contracted" for some specific work, rather than being "in house". Once the terms of the contract are fulfilled, the employment is terminated. For instance, a high tech firm may have software developers who are permanent employees, working in house to produce their software. But from time to time they may contract salesmen to sell their software once it is produced. The contract may stipulate a commission, a quota, and a time frame for the work to be done, or whatever else. It's a funny term because all legal employee-employer relationships involve a contract. But as it is meant here, a contract employee is generally a specialist or a short term employee hired on terms that are different than the normal full time employees of the company.


Why does the school call it tenured if you need less than ten years to be guaranteed a job?

Tenured is the term for being exempt from being terminated, however long the qualifying period may be, for anything but exceptional circumstances. The fact it is pronounced and spelled as "ten - yeared" is entirely coincidental.


What is the role of power in regulation of employment relationship?

There are multiple bases of power and the employment relationship embodies what is known as legitimate power.Employment is a contract between the employer and the employee where the employee agrees to perform a specified work and the employer agrees to compensate the employee (i.e. money, stock options, and benefits).In an ideal world the employee would live up to his responsibility to provide the service that he was contracted to provide. We do not live in an ideal world so the following happen:The employment contract is vague therefore the employee does not know what they are supposed to provideThe employment contract is well defined but the employee does not understand what they are supposed to doThe employee for whatever reason provides less than the minimum service required by the contractWhen an employment contract is poorly specified or when an employee takes actions that exceed a well specified contract then the employer needs to invoke power to regulate this. When the contract is poorly specified they have the obligation to provide clarity on the contract and work with the employee to define all vague areas and make sure that both parties are still in agreement with the contract. When employees exceed well specified contracts then the employer needs to reign them in and establish why there is a misunderstanding of the contract.A well defined employment contract will specify concreteand measurable targets that the employee must provide; an example is a union contract where productivity is very explicit.When the employee fails to provide the required performance then the employee has breached their contract and the employer can seek remedy. This is where the employer has the right to regulate an employee but only where it concerns the employer.For example, you may have an employee that is chronically showing up late on Monday morning because they party late on Sunday night. The employer can talk about being on time but the employer can't comment about how the employee spends their Sunday night.Even though an employer clearly needs to be able to regulate their employees the real problem is that as humans we have biases and poor interaction skills. This makes it difficult for people to execute employer/employee relationships properly.To make matters worse, no two people (ok, maybe identical twins :-) see the world the exact same way. So unless an employment contract is as explicit and measurable as a union contract (e.g. employee will work 40 hours a week and produce at least 100 widgets) then it is a guarantee that both the employer and the employee interpret the employment contract differently.So in summary, employers have the right to use power regulate an employee only as far as it concerns the employment contract and does not break any laws at any point in the process.


How aware is the employee of being bonded?

If your current job requires you to sign bonds with the employer, then of course you would be aware of being bonded. Bonds can simply be job contracts which will ensure your employment only for a limited period. You would either be released of responsibilities at the end of the contract or get your contract renewed.

What does it mean if your supervisor recently fired an employee for not being punctual?

It normally means the employee was terminated as a result of not being on time to work, or late. Normally, most employers will give an employee a warning prior to terminating the employee, and the behavior, such as tardiness or punctuality, has occurred more than once or twice, normally it is several times, and at least one warning. In California, and most other states, Labor codes allow for "at will employment", and unless there is an employment contract in place, almost all employers and employees are subject to "at will employment", the employer can legally terminate an employee, with out cause.


How to Understand an Employment Contract?

An employment contract is a written document signed by both the employee and employer that documents what is expected from both of you as a result of your business relationship. An employment contract can benefit both the employee and the employer by avoiding misunderstandings and miscommunications regarding what the employer expects from the employee in exchange for his paycheck. An employment contract can spell out or address a wide range of issues affecting both the employee and the employer. These include the length of employment expected, the exact responsibilities born by the employee, the specific benefits such as health insurance, vacation pay, sick days or disability leave that the employee is entitled to, the reasons that the employer can terminate the employee’s services, any non-compete agreement once the employee leaves the employer for another opportunity, the matter of confidentialty when dealing with client lists, trade secrets and other proprietary information owned by the employer, who owns any work products that the employee develops, creates or supervises while an employee, and how any disputes are agreed to be handled between the employee and employer. An employment contract can specifically spell out the amount of hours or days to be worked, the designated break and lunch times allocated each workday, and the amount of paid leave offered for vacation, disability or illness. An employment contract is a wise idea for businesses dealing in developing new products or dealing with a lot of confidential information because it makes very clear that the employee cannot violate this confidentiality at the risk of termination and lawsuit. If training is involved when hiring a new employee, an employment contract can help ensure that they don’t leave within a few months time for greener pastures, causing all that money and effort to go to waste. Employment contracts also protect businesses from having an employee leave and get hired immediately by a competitor or go directly into a competing business. An employment contract can protect the employee from being terminated for no reason after a time shorter than specified in the contract, unless an at-will agreement has been signed. This means the employer can terminate the employee at any time, for any reason. Also, terms of an employment contract are binding and cannot be changed without both parties agreeing to renegotiate. Since an employment contract is legally binding on both parties, it should never be signed unless all terms are understood and agreed to and legal counsel for both parties has reviewed the document for anything misleading or questionable.
