Description

The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate different types of employment relationships and potential discriminatory employment policies from an ethical standpoint.

Read the following scenario.

Janice was hired by Dream Massage to be a massage therapist. She is engaged as an independent contractor and, therefore, receives no tax withholding or employment benefits. Dream Massage requires Janice to work a set schedule, provides her with clients and all her massage products, and exercises complete control over how Janice does her work. In addition, when Janice shows up to work the first day, she is informed by Dream Massage that she cannot wear her hijab as it violates the company's dress code policy.

The owner of Dream Massage comes to you, a human resources (HR) consultant, to find out if Janice is properly classified as an independent contractor and if there is potential liability concerning the hijab.

Create a 700- to 1,050-word HR report for Dream Massage in which you examine the employment issues presented in the scenario.

Include the following:

  • Analyze whether Janice qualifies as an employee or should be classified as an independent contractor.
  • Discuss whether Dream Massage has potentially violated any employment discrimination laws.
  • Analyze ethical considerations associated with the maintenance of a rigid company dress policy.

Cite a minimum of three references.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

undertake a role within a short period and also the increasing demand for increase in minimum
wage. This paper, therefore, seeks to examine whether Janice is an employee or an independent
contractor as well as explore any possibility of violation of employment discrimination laws and
address ethical considerations in a firm’s dress code policy.
To understand whether a person is an independent contractor or an employee, one
examines several factors which bring out the difference between the two. For instance, one can
