Case Study Sarah Green has been an accountant for 12 years. She worked in a small medical practice for two years after earning her BS in Accounting and then chose to work freelance for five years. For the past five years she worked at a large firm, Stokely and Associates, where she brought in more new clients than 92% of her colleagues and received a higher satisfaction score from clients than 90% of her coworkers. Sarah had to move to a new city to care for her sick mother. This meant finding a new accounting position. She was excited to be hired at the large accounting firm, Parker and Mendez Accounting, LLC, right away. Unfortunately, she learned after 4 months that she was being paid less than her coworkers who had equal or less experience than she did. When she asked the hiring manager about the discrepancy, she was told that the organization?

Module 02 – Case Study: Pay and Gender
For this assignment, you are the new Compliance Representative in the HR Department. It is your primary goal to ensure the organization is compliant with laws and regulations in all areas including recruiting/hiring new people, employee safety, and fair labor practices for current employees. While you address compliance concerns in all departments, you report to the VP of Human Resources. Read the case study of Sarah Green and provide a two-part response to the VP of HR.

Part One: Read and analyze the scenario below. Write a report to the VP of HR summarizing the case and providing a clear argument that an EEOC act was violated. State which act applies to the case.
Part Two: Prepare an outline of a training session for hiring managers and for the pay and benefits specialists to prevent a repeat of the situation in the scenario.

Case Study
Sarah Green has been an accountant for 12 years. She worked in a small medical practice for two years after earning her BS in Accounting and then chose to work freelance for five years. For the past five years she worked at a large firm, Stokely and Associates, where she brought in more new clients than 92% of her colleagues and received a higher satisfaction score from clients than 90% of her coworkers.
Sarah had to move to a new city to care for her sick mother. This meant finding a new accounting position. She was excited to be hired at the large accounting firm, Parker and Mendez Accounting, LLC, right away. Unfortunately, she learned after 4 months that she was being paid less than her coworkers who had equal or less experience than she did. When she asked the hiring manager about the discrepancy, she was told that the organization?s policy is to pay in a range based on previous pay. The hiring manager did admit to being surprised that her previous salary was at the low end of the expected range given her successes and performance reviews, but the policy is there for a reason and making an exception defeats the purpose of the policy.
After researching her industry and old employer, Sarah learned that her previous employer regularly paid women less than men even when the women had more experience or brought in more clients. Her current pay was impacted by this discriminatory practice.
The report to the VP of HR should include two parts:
Part One

A summary of Sarah?s case.
Address which of the EEOC acts the previous organization violated.
An explanation of the ethical and legal obligations of the current organization.
A proposed solution for Sarah.
A proposed change in policy for determining starting pay at the current organization.

Part Two
An outline of a training session for all hiring managers and benefits and payroll specialists. Each of these sections should be included and explained briefly but with enough detail that the decision-makers reading the report are fully informed and can approve the training.

Introduction: Provide an overview of the training. Example: Excellence in Interviewing is a two-week online training that introduces the best practices in interviewing.
Scope: State how broad or narrow the focus of the training will be.
Objectives: List what participants will be able to do using ?To + verb? statements. Example: To roleplay an effective phone interview. To write three behavioral interview questions that assess given criteria.
Training Method: Explain the format of the training. Online, face-to-face, blended, asynchronous or in real time or both.
Evaluation using Kirkpatrick?s Levels: Address each level of Kirkpatrick?s in detail. Share specific strategy to evaluating the proposed training.

IT Disciplines: To begin your report on careers within the information technology field, define the distinction between computer science, information systems, engineering, and information technology. In your description, first define each discipline and then describe how that discipline is related to others within IT. In your definition, address the following: What roles and careers within the IT field are related to these disciplines? What tools and technologies are most applicable to these disciplines?

Whether you are just beginning your career in information technology or taking the next step in your career path, it is vital to understand the numerous opportunities available to you within this field. In this project, you will be conducting a survey of the information technology field that includes several career options aligned with your interests and begins to sketch out the training and certifications necessary for those roles.
Directions
The Information Technology Field: Before you explore career options in information technology, it is important to distinguish between the various disciplines that exist within this field. In this section, you will be considering these disciplines, as well as two primary tools for information technology professionals: programming and scripting.

IT Disciplines: To begin your report on careers within the information technology field, define the distinction between computer science, information systems, engineering, and information technology. In your description, first define each discipline and then describe how that discipline is related to others within IT. In your definition, address the following:

What roles and careers within the IT field are related to these disciplines?
What tools and technologies are most applicable to these disciplines?

Programming and Scripting: Following your description of the different disciplines within information technology, explain the relationship between programming and scripting and their uses within the IT field. In your explanation, first define scripting and programming, then address the following:

What distinguishes a script from a program?
How would an IT professional use scripting in their work? How would they use programming?
Describe a potential case where an IT professional would use a scripting language in their work. Describe a potential case where an IT professional would use a programming language in their work.

Information Technology Careers: Once you have defined the fields available in the world of information technology, it is time to start examining careers. For this section, you will be examining three positions within your chosen area of interest.

Careers of Interest: First, identify careers of interest within the IT field. You will choose an appropriate entry-level position, mid-level position, and ultimately the position you will strive to achieve. Then, determine whether each position is most closely aligned with information technology, computer science, information systems, or engineering. In your report, describe the roles and responsibilities of each of these careers. As evidence, ensure that you are submitting the job postings referenced in your report.
Tools and Technologies: Next, within each of your identified careers, describe the tools and technologies specific to your chosen IT roles. For each career, identify and describe various tools, including hardware and software, that a professional working in that career would use.
Training and Certifications: Finally, identify education, training, and certifications necessary for chosen IT roles. For your identified roles, describe these trainings and certifications, using the information in your identified job postings and descriptions as a reference. For each training and certification, describe its utility in the information technology field and sketch out how an interested person would obtain each certification. Finally, describe the transferable skills within these certifications and how they might prepare you for other careers and fields within the information technology profession.

What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:
Information Technology Career ReportYou will create a report describing the information technology field, including distinguishing between the various disciplines within the IT field and identifying at least three careers of interest within the field. This report should be between 500-600 Words.

When we hear the phrase “fake news” we often think of politicians and the media. However, businesses also perpetuate fake news, often unwittingly. LeanSpa, an internet retail business that sold purported weight loss products under various brand names, hired LeadClick to provide online advertising through its affiliate network. Toward that end, certain LeadClick affiliates used fake news sites to market LeanSpa products. These fake news sites looked like genuine news sites in that they had logos styled to look like news sites, and they included pictures of supposed reporters next to their articles. The articles generally represented that a reporter had performed independent tests that demonstrated the efficacy of the weight loss products. The websites also frequently included a Consumer Comment section, where purported consumers praised the products. There were no consumers commenting, however, since this content was invented. See this module’s assigned textbook reading for a synopsis of the LeadClick case.
Based on this case, the module resources, and your own experience, answer these questions:

Who has or should have primary responsibility for managing fake news and its consequences (i.e., social media companies, advertising companies, business, everyday citizens, government authorities, or others)? Why?
Is it unethical for a company to allow its ads to run on a controversial website—such as one that is promoting untested scientific data or one that includes what is commonly accepted as hate speech—even if doing so generates significant revenue for the company? Explain your position.

This major is very strong on defining the social world as a complicated and complex system. Its complexity requires seeing the world as an interconnection of many things. There is no such thing as a simple social problem.  No social problem is one area of expertise or discipline.In this reflection, you will apply what you know about interdisciplinary studies to an issue that impacts your community.  What communities are you part of?

This major is very strong on defining the social world as a complicated and complex system. Its complexity requires seeing the world as an interconnection of many things. There is no such thing as a simple social problem.  No social problem is one area of expertise or discipline.In this reflection, you will apply what you know about interdisciplinary studies to an issue that impacts your community.  What communities are you part of?  Suggestions for communities are your place of worship, neighborhood, work place, sports team, university, social group, etc. Now, think about a social problem or issue that impacts your community. Is it segregation, tension among neighbors, political differences, fear of gun violence, increase in crime, work place hierarchies, high cost of groceries, discrimination, larger number of firings or resignations, over working culture, underage drinking, low attendance at sporting events, etc? What are the different parts of the problem or issue?  How are these different parts interacting to create a more complex situation? For example, during the pandemic, our university was impacted by COVID-19 closures. Closing FSU was not simple, it required many changes that changed social and public life from sporting events to remote learning to economic costs of running a closed university.For this reflection:1. Describe the social problem or issue impacting your specific community. How is it impacting your community? What are the different parts of the problem or issue? 2. Call on two disciplines (sociology, political science, economics, etc) to discuss the overlapping aspects of the social problem currently impacting your community. 3. How would you approach such a complex problem? Who should be at the table help solve or manage it?
