Section 1: Case Assignment

CASE STUDY

CASE-1
Nick, an employee of Great American Market, was warned about her excessive absenteeism
several times, both verbally and in writing. The writing warning included notice that “further
violation will result in disciplinary actions,” including suspension or discharge.

A short time after the written warning was issued. Nick called work to say that she was not going
to be in because her babysitter had called in sick and she had to stay and care for her young child.
Nick supervisor, Sylvia, told her that she had already exceeded the allowed number of absences
and warned that if she did not report to work. She could be suspended. When Nick did not report
for her shift, Sylvia suspended her for fifteen days.
In a subsequent hearing, Nick argued that it was not her fault that the babysitter had canceled, and
protested that she had no other choice but to stay home. Sylvia pointed out that Nick had not
made a good faith effort to find an alternate babysitter, nor had she tried to swap shifts with a
coworker. Furthermore, Sylvia said that the lack of a babysitter was not a justifiable excuse for
being absent.

Questions:

1. Was the suspension fair?

2. Did Joan act responsibly?
3. Should she be fired?

(Give proper answers for the above questions there is no word limitation)
