Assignment 1
Jason Walker, an account manager at HC Health Equipment, has not received the raise that he thinks
he deserves. When Jason met with his boss, Connie Scott, last Thursday for his annual evaluation,
she told him that he had missed too many days of work (eight days during the year). He was
unwilling to work beyond his 40-hour work week to complete rush jobs, and had not attended two
mandatory training sessions on the company's new computerized inventory system.
Jason agrees that he missed the training sessions, but he was out of town on a job-related assignment
for one of those sessions. He missed eight days of work, but he was allowed five days of sick leave
as part of his contract. The other three days missed were due to his having to stay home to take care
of his children when they were sick. He believed that these absences were covered by the company's
parental leave policy. Finally, he does not agree that employees should be required to work beyond
their contractual 40 hours.
Suppose you are Jason and write an email to Connie Scott, stating your case.
