MEMORANDUM 03.01.2010 TO: FROM: RE: Daphne Matthews Alex Associate - 4667 Memo Assignment 1: Who Does the Pastry?
I.
Introduction Collins was hired as Head Chef at the Marrimount Hotel and believed that this job came with the inherent authority to choose his assistant chefs, even though nothing of this was mentioned in the contract for employment. Therefore, when Crest, owner of the Marrimount, attempted to determine Collins 's assistants, Collins quit his job and went to work for the Treadwell Center. The contract It may actually be good for Collins to argue that there was no contract between himself and Crest. First, there was no detailed employment agreement, just a letter signifying the contract terms. The letter referred to

Stein is definitely associating Collins’s role as more managerial than Crest is claiming he had. Further, Collins was able to hire his own dessert chef without interference, creating a presumption that the hiring of his team was within his authority. More logically, this is a big hotel that was seeking Collins out because he was known for preparing gourmet meals for large groups. A Head Chef is more than a cook. They are in charge of the dining room, carefully selecting staff that can help prepare these large meals that would not be possible to create with just one person. This was a managerial or executive position as much as it was a cooking one. Crest was not just looking for a cook when they hired Collins; they were looking for a Head Chef. By taking away Collins’s ability to hire and fire his “team” they materially breached the contract to employ Collins as the Head Chef. A court will likely find such an argument persuasive and deem that Crest materially breached the contract first. ii. Reduction in duties or rank is a breach of contract Collins will want to argue that this case is analogous to Rudman v. Cowles Communications, Inc., which is controlling authority in New York. In Rudman, an editor was hired to manage and oversee the publication of his series of books. The employer then began changing Rudman’s books without approval and took away his managerial role and oversight. The court found a breach of contract and explained, If an employee…is
Wasting money is a big problem, yet it is not the only one; wasting the catering associate’s time is another. Catering associates only have about two minutes to spend in a patient’s room. That may seem like plenty of time to get an order and move on to the next patient. However, by the time the caterer describes the menu, diet, and the Always Available Menu, by the time the patients decide what they want, it is time to for the catering associate to move on. There is very little time to search for a menu and describe the process of ordering. Therefore, this leads to confusion for patients.
First issue that Jim and his executive assistant had to deal with is firing one of his employee named Henry Jaques for “having problems interacting with his co-workers.” Henry was fired by his store manager because they stated that Henry Jaques was “he made the whole place poisonous.” Furthermore, Henry was also complaining about working conditions and was “irate” wanting to sue the company. They reason why Jim is involved in this because he has approved of Henry dismissal. In the article “8 Fedreal Laws that Protect Employees” by Daniel Kurt under the “Employment-Based Discrimination” stated that “It illegal for businesses to discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” In this case, Henry was discriminated because

STATEMENT OF FACTS: Sheila White interviewed with Marvin Brown and obtained a job as a “track laborer” with Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company. Shortly after her hire date, however, she assumed forklift operator duties. This new assignment still fell under the “track laborer” position description, and White occasionally performed those duties although her primary responsibility was operating the forklift. Three months into her new job, White complained to the company that her immediate supervisor was sexually harassing her on the job. He was temporarily suspended and required to attend sexual harassment training. White was then informed that she was being reassigned to track labor duties only. White
Now, a very interesting part about this was the interaction McKenzie had with the staff that really strengthens the claim of staff not being held to three star standards. One major thing is the dishonesty. McKenzie had not only been lied to about having pillows delivered to his room, but he had other instances of deceit and dishonesty. McKenzie and his wife had called down to the front desk and wanted to acquire a luggage rack. Not only did they have to describe what a luggage rack was to a hotel but they also were promised one would be sent to them. It was a promise that was not fulfilled. Many times McKenzie would run into the employees in the hallway and they were described as being unhappy, underpaid, and undervalued. He sometimes would hear those speaking English then when he tried to interact with them they would act as though they couldn’t understand him.

While employed at the Hershey Chocolate USA, Turners claims have been essential accommodation on defendant. In this case the looking the material facts in the light most favorable to the Turner, it is difficult to conclude the material of the law, based on the evidence that Turners directly threaten to its employees or place an “Undue hardship” on Hershey.

Beatty based on Mr. Beatty’s age, length of employment, character of employment and availability of similar employment was entitled to 15 months’ notice. The Courts found that although Mr. Beatty was the Chief Executive Officer, when comparing his position to those of other CEO’s he did not face the same challenges e.g. financial management, industry competition or quality control that many CEO’s in the private sector face. This was not to say that he didn’t have important duties. As well, the Courts looked at his age of 50 and the availability of similar employment. Mr. Beatty had spent his whole career in the forest industry with the past 11 ½ years specializing in a niche segment of the industry. This meant that his transferability of his specialized skills, knowledge and expertise to other senior positions in the industry is very limited.
In paper, Greene’s Jewelry has a strong case against Jennifer Lawson because Jennifer breached the confidentiality agreements that she signed with Greene’s Jewelry. In the agreement, it specifically indicated that Jennifer could never disclose any information regarding “Ever-Gold” creating process, which is patented and owned by Greene’s Jewelry. Jennifer not only stole a draft letter that contains the details of creating Ever-Gold but also took it to Greene’s competitor Howell Jewelry World in order to obtain a job offer from the company. The employment contract that Jennifer signed with Howell is a certain evidence of her unjust enrichment. Regarding Jennifer Lawson’s claim that she encountered wrongful termination at Greene’s, it is simply a misinterpretation of Greene’s legitimate reduction in force. The company no longer had a need for any junior executive secretaries. The downsizing was unfortunately but legal.
