organization follow these guidelines? What cases have
established precedent for this issue to be addressed clearly in an
organization’s employee policy manual?
Support your rationale with (at minimum) the 12 scholarly
sources used in your annotated bibliography in addition to the
textbook and the Bible. Remember, government websites and
previous/current court cases are useful but will not be included
in the scholarly reference requirement.
The paper must be at least 2,200 words, in addition to the cover
page, the abstract, and the references page. It must be written in
current APA format. Papers submitted with less than the
