SUBMIT TO ASSIGNMENT FOLDER. 

Background:  Contracts are essential for business, and will be an integral part of GC operations, so the owners now want to focus on contract law.   Each of the owners has experience with contracts in their own businesses, and appreciates the probable risks and liabilities associated with contracts. 

The GC owners know that there are various types of contract agreements relevant to their business.  For example, GC will have individual contracts with employees, independent contractors, and other agents who will represent the company.  Also, GC will engage in sales contracts with other businesses, and sales contracts between businesses and consumers and clients.  Furthermore, GC will use electronic contracts, or e-contracts, in conducting online business transactions.

To reduce risks and liabilities associated with contracts, the owners want all contracts to be written, with specific, complete, and clear terms.  Contracts must define rights and responsibilities of the parties.  Also, since employees and/or independent contractors will be performing cleaning services on clients’ properties, these contracts should consider bonding.

You, Winnie and Ralph presented draft contracts for several GC employees, including contracts for cleaners, office managers, marketing specialists, sales representatives, and IT employees. 

The GC owners reviewed the drafts and have some questions about the contracts.

Instructions:  At Winnie’s and Ralph’s request, it is your responsibility to research and provide answers to the GC owners’ questions.

The first questions relate to the GC cleaner-employee contract.

The cleaner-employee contract specifies the following terms and conditions:

· duties to be performed by cleaner-employee

· salary for cleaner-employee

· work hours

· terms of payment for overtime or holiday work, if any

· sick leave

· vacation

· training for cleaner-employee

· length of contract

· bonding for cleaner-employee 

· periodic performance evaluation and how it will be conducted

· termination of contract, i.e., notice of termination, etc. 

Research, evaluate, and respond to the owners’ questions about the contract terms below.   

A.  duties to be performed by cleaner-employees

1.  What potential risks and liabilities could arise if the specific duties of cleaner-employees were not included in their contract with GC?  Explain.

B. training for cleaner-employees 

1.  What possible risks and liabilities could arise related to this contract term that designates specific and required training for GC cleaner-employees?

2.  Would the risks and liabilities be greater or less if GC did not train its cleaner-employees and hired only experienced cleaner-employees?  Why?

C.  bonding for cleaner-employees 

1.  What possible risks and liabilities could arise for GC if cleaner-employees were not required, specifically in their contracts, to be bonded?  Explain.

Format Instructions:

Prepare responses to GC questions in a report, addressed to Winnie and Ralph, to be used in discussion with the Green Clean owners.

The report should address the questions in the Instructions above.  Follow the format below.

IHP 420 Milestone Three

Overview: Healthcare professionals provide support throughout the cycle of life, from birth to death. They have an obligation to provide humane and compassionate care to patients while adhering to their specific field’s code of ethics. Sometimes, healthcare professionals are privy to discussions between family members regarding end-of-life issues. In some instances, a healthcare facility may be in charge of providing information about advance directives to patients. Healthcare professionals should calibrate their own moral beliefs to align with their ethical and legal obligations. By studying issues contained within real-life cases, healthcare professionals can come to terms with their beliefs and obligations relative to end-of-life issues. 

Prompt: In this project, you will analyze the Terri Schiavo case through the lens of the bioethical issue(s) related to the case. You will address what the bioethical issue is and what role end-of-life issues, such as self-determination and advanced directives, played in the case. Using your analysis, you will determine how this bioethical issue impacted the decisions made by the healthcare professionals involved in the case. 

Specifically, your essay must address the following critical elements: 

Introduction: Describe the provided case, including information on the stakeholders involved, the bioethical issue, and the time period of the incident that occurred. 

Bioethical Analysis: Analyze the bioethical issue for the role end-of-life issues played in the case. Be sure to use appropriate terminology and support with secondary research.  

Conclusion: Describe how the bioethical issue influenced the decisions of healthcare professionals involved in the case. Be sure to use specific examples. 

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your bioethical short paper should be 1–2 pages in Microsoft Word with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. All citations and references should be formatted according to the most recent APA guidelines.
