Explanation: This is an example of risk mitigation. The Stanley Corporation minimizes the potential for lawsuits by monitoring its own compliance. Some risks cannot be entirely avoided; there is no perfect strategy for avoiding litigation. This risk cannot be eliminated. Risk transfer is similar to risk mitigation, but it involves increasing expense in one area to minimize a risk elsewhere. For instance, a company might increase insurance payments to account for a particular risk.

Explanation: Under the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the largest possible damage award is $300,000. Only businesses with more than 500 employees may be assessed this amount. Businesses with from 15 to 100 employees may be liable for damage awards of up to $50,000. Businesses with from 101 to 200 employees may be liable for damage awards of up to $100,000. Businesses with from 201 to 100 employees may be liable for damage awards of up to $200,000.

Explanation: Exemptions are specific, and in this case only answer choice D reflects a legitimate exemption status: due to the nature of the job, and the fact that the police department only has four members, these officers would be exempt from overtime requirements. The high school coach would not necessarily be exempt from overtime requirements, just because he has to take students to games. The large farm that employs teenagers during the summer would definitely not be exempt from child labor requirements. And the firefighters might be exempt from overtime requirements - under certain circumstances (which do not appear to be present in this situation) - but they are certainly not exempt from minimum wage requirements.

Explanation: When employees leave work early or purposefully work at a slow pace, they are engaging in production deviance. In other words, they are intentionally performing at a less than optimal rate. Property deviance is the destruction or damaging of company equipment. Property deviance also includes misrepresentation of hours worked, since the time during which the employee claims to be working is technically the property of the company. Political deviance is dysfunctional interpersonal behavior, as for instance spreading rumors or undermining the authority of superiors. Personal aggression includes antisocial and even criminal behaviors like stealing, sexual harassment, and physical violence.

Explanation: Managers are encouraged to give employees about one week advance notice for a scheduled performance evaluation. Five days might be good, but a full week is better and avoids "springing it" on the employee. Giving the employee 2 days or 3 days is far too short.
