1) Samantha works as a waitress at a restaurant. On Friday night, Samantha was walking through the kitchen area and slipped and fell in a puddle of water that was on the floor. Samantha hurt her back badly during the fall. That evening, before leaving her shift to go home, the owner of the restaurant asked her not to file a Worker's Compensation claim. He stated that he did not have much money as it was a small restaurant owned by his family and that he was worried that if she filed a claim that his restaurant might suffer time and money. He offered her $500 not to file a worker's compensation claim. Can the owner of this restaurant do this? Explain your answer. Refer to any pieces of relevant legislation in your response. 2) Imagine you are a human resource professional working for a food distribution company. You notice that there is a lack of understanding among management and the owner about the legal framework for employment (e.g Charter or Rights and Freedoms, employment standards code, human rights legislation, etc). The business owner has just said the following to you "I am a business owner of a food distribution company and I don't need to be aware of the legal framework for employment. My primary concern is making money, maintaining business contacts with suppliers and clients, balancing the books, and making sure we stay ahead of the competition. With what you know about legislation covered in this course, how would you respond to the owner? What key legislation would you talk about and what main points would you think would be critical for him to know? 1) Samantha works as a waitress at a restaurant.
