A human resources manager is looking at the company's compensation package after hearing multiple complaints from production shift managers that employee turnover was too high. The human resource manager estimated that a total of $2,000 was being spent hiring and on-boarding each worker. A single worker generates $350 per day of work and costs $325 per day of work. If, on average, a worker stays employed at the company for 150 days, how many days beyond the break-even point (measured in days the worker is employed at the company) does a worker, on average, stay with the company?
David Kelley is considering the implementation of an incentive wage plan to increase productivity in his small manufacturing plant. The plant is nonunion, and employees have been compensated with only an hourly-rate plan. Julie Phelps, Vice President–Manufacturing, is concerned that the move to an incentive compensation plan will cause direct laborers to speed up production and, thus, compromise quality.
Step 1 - With that information in mind, discuss the following questions. Your posting should be at least 500 words* in length. This means you should elaborate on your answers, not simply answer each question with one or two words. You should also reference information already learned in our studies.
How might Kelley accomplish his goals while alleviating Phelps’ concerns?
Does the compensation have to be all hourly rate or all incentives?
Can incentive compensation also apply to service businesses?

- Lawrence Lippart is a line worker in the assembly department of Myers Manufacturing. He normally earns $18 per hour, but gets time and a half ($27 per hour) for overtime, over 40 hours per week. He earns double time if he works holidays even if he has not worked 40 hours that week. Sometimes the assembly-line equipment goes down and Lawrence has to wait for the mechanics to repair the equipment or there is a scheduling mix-up. Lawrence is paid for this time and Myers considers this idle time. In May, Lawrence worked two 43-hour weeks, one 44 hour week, and the last week he worked 40 hours, but one of those days was a national holiday. During regular hours, the assembly-line equipment was down 4.2 hours in May, and Lawrence had two hours of idle time because of a scheduling mix-up. Requirements 1. Calculate (a) direct manufacturing labour, (b) idle time, (c) overtime holiday premium, and (d) total earnings for Lawrence in May. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) 2.

He asks you to evaluate the financial impact of a proposal involving an alternative labor contract for manual finishing labor (MAN-5). Under the proposed contract, the company would guarantee a 40-hour workweek for these employees. The hourly wage under the guaranteed 40-hour workweek would be $14 instead of $15. Based on the number of MAN-5 employees that the company plans to employ, this means that the company is committed to paying its MAN-5 employees for 1,600 hours each month, even if there is not enough work to keep them busy. If the number of MAN-5 labor hours per month is higher than 1,600 hours, MAN-5 employees will receive time-and-a-half overtime pay. MACH-2 labor hours will not be impacted. To fulfil Fletch’s request, first, insert a new worksheet at the end of the Excel template and set up a new direct labor budget (only for MAN-5). Then, answer the following questions: a.

For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square metres of snow removal. The current fee is $12.70 per hundred square metres. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers—particularly those located on more remote properties that require considerable travel time. The owner’s daughter, home from school for the summer, has suggested investigating this question using ABC. After some discussion, a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools seemed to be adequate. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below: Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Activity for the Year Snow removal Square metres cleaned (00s) 34,600 hundred square metres Travel to jobs Kilometres driven 18,125 kilometres Job support Number of jobs 250 jobs Other (costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs)…arrow_forward
