Case Assignment
Read through the following case study before you answer the questions:
Lorraine recently started working for Golden Hospital in the claims/billing department. Her duties included preparing and submitting Medicare/Medicaid claims for payment. Shortly after being hired Lorraine noticed there were numerous irregularities which were potentially illegal billings to Medicare. When she raised the issue to her supervisor Barry she was terminated. Lorraine inquired as to the reason and was told that according to the staff handbook all employees are hired At Will; thus no reason or notice was needed for her termination.
Respond to the following:
1.What is AT WILL employment?
2.Are there any exceptions to AT WILL employment?
3.As the director of HR for Golden Hospital what concerns would you have over Lorraines termination?
4.Who should be notified about her termination? Why?
5.How would you handle the situation with her supervisor Barry?
Be sure to properly cite all references.
Assignment Expectations
Number of pages: 2 to 3 pages
Scholarly Content
Your CASE/SLP and your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your final work should include a MINIMUM of 10 peer reviewed (scholarly) sources. This does not mean that you must place 10 peer reviewed sources in each module of your CASE/SLP. I anticipate that the nature of the questions which must be answered in this project will result in the accumulation of more than 10 references but 10 is the minimum number. This means by the end of module 5 I should be able to go back and count AT A MINIMUM a total of 10 scholarly-peer reviewed publications in all of your submitted papers. If you are uncertain what a peer reviewed (scholarly) source is please see What is a Scholarly Article?
Appropriate Headings and Paper Flow
Remember that you are preparing a formal academic paper. Your paper should make use of appropriate headings and subheadings. You should not cut & paste the questions posed and answer them like a Question and Answer session. Your finished paper should read like an academic paper.
Your assignment will be graded according to the Case and SLP Grading Rubric. (To see the rubric go to Assessments>Rubrics. Click the arrow next to the rubric name and choose Preview.)
