Companies often have several policies on time away from work. What are some examples of time away from work policies found in private-sector organizations today? Provide employer names from your research.

(CBS This Morning, 2015)

As you see in the video above, some employers have work v. vacation policies. Others have have one Employee Time-Off Policy. Would it be better for King to have one “time off” policy (e.g., allowing a set number of days missed regardless of reason) instead of individual absenteeism, sick-days, vacation, short-term leave, long-term leave policies, FMLA, and other policies granting time away from work? Or should they implement something similar to the unlimited vacation time policy discussed above, or something else? Why? Support your response with research.

Bring in information from at least 4 library sources to help strengthen and validate your discussion.

Paper length: 4-5 pages (not counting the cover and reference pages).

Provide private-sector employer examples of HRM programs, systems, processes, and/or procedures as you address the assignment requirements. Provide names of the employers. Use different employer examples in this course than what have been used previously in your other papers and courses.

Bring in related court case decisions to help augment your discussion, if applicable.

Make reasonable, cost-effective assumptions in your paper. It is not an option, however, for you to hire additional help (temporary or otherwise). State your assumptions in the beginning of your discussion.
