Employee benefits research paper

Employee benefits are rewards that the company provides to employees only for the fact that they are its employees. Usually, they are not tied to employee performance. Sometimes however, they depend on status of employee in the company, his merits, and the time he has worked in the company.
Behind a successful company there are several factors which affect its activities and performance. These are various economic issues, production processes, capital, and people- employees. The human resources of a company depend on how the company can respond to challenges of the market. Employers are recently trying to take care of their employees much more than just rewarding them with a salary. They provide them a variety of employee benefits with which they try to motivate them to better perform. The aim of this paper is to describe the system of benefits provided by companies in general.

Write about information all about employee benefits such as what is legally required and what is available in the US verses other countries. Mention maternity benefits, fringe benefits, health care, vacation and sick time.. etc..

BONUS BILLIONS ARE BACK ON WALL STREET

Well class, here we go again!!! Shortly after President Obama assumed office, the public was informed the the “bankers” and “wall street” boys are at it again! Please consider the following:

  1. These individuals received a “whopping” $140,000.000.000 in bonuses……$10,000,000,000 more than the $130,000,000,000 in bonuses they received the year before!.
  2. “Wall Street” is giving out these record bonuses as “Main Street” is still on the verge of calapse!
  3. Tax-Payers’ Money: As a result of the “bailout” wall street had access to our money to be used without adequate constraints, restrictions, or penalties.
  4. According to the media, we are out of the recession, consumer confidence is up, and investors are starting to see acceptable returns on their investments……thus, in part, providing impetus for the awarding of these exorbitant bonuses.
  5. However: Unemployment, Mortgage Foreclosures, Productivity, Balance of Trade, and Consumer Savings/Spending/Investing are still at unacceptable levels.

DISCUSSION:

What are your thoughts/opinions?!

Here are a few questions or “food for thought” to get you started:

  1. What does this discussion have to do with this course and you personally?
  2. Did our government “over-sight” agencies drop the ball?
  3. Are these individuals “high performers” and deserve such exorbitant amounts of money for a job well-done? These are the same people who wrecked the economy?
  4. Has the definition of Capitalism changed? Does “New Capitalism” give these individuals the right to extract as much as they can from the economy without consequence.
  5. Does our economic system encourage and legalize greed.? Is this acceptable?

Once again, the aforementioned is just to get you started, feel free to expand!
