You have a lot of obligations as a striving business owner. The first step for
Pedro is to organize the transaction with the local government. When your small
company hires additional employees, the business and you, as the entrepreneur or
owner, take on new duties to those employees with federal and state regulations. These
responsibilities are diverse and entail a wide range of tasks, including as paying
employees and ensuring that their work place is as comfortable as possible. When it
comes to salaries, he must give a reasonable compensation to his staff. He must
ensure that they are paid at least the federal minimum wage per hour. He must pay
each worker what he owes them or adhere to a minimal payment period.

The owner of the business is subject to the physical and emotional safety of the
personnel in the work place in which the company operates. Pedro may also conduct
monthly inspections of his manufacturing plant and assess the safety abilities of your
staff. By doing these activities on a regular basis, he guarantees that his
manufacturing environment is as clean as possible at all times. In addition, the business
must provide a pleasant work environment devoid of judgement, prejudice, bias, and
hostility, as well as the benefits that his workers are entitled to. Workers' mental health
is frequently emphasized as well in order for them to become competent, possibly the
best employees.

1. Discuss the stages of Development in the guild System.

Apprenticeship is the first step for a worker. A contract was made between the
master craftsman and the parent, and the master is responsible for supplying the
apprentice with a house, food, clothes, and anything else he or she needs. He
becomes an artisan, a skilled tradesman, also known as a journeyman, after finishing
his apprenticeship. After this, they will also have the authority to work on their own or to
be compensated by a master craftsman.

last phase is for him to get his own craft and possessions. The craft guild will solely
owned by an artisan who already had passed through the stages of apprenticeship,
journeyman, and master craftsmanship.

The Industrial Revolution was an era of significant industrialization and invention that
occurred between the late 1700s and the early 1800s. It is the period during which
machines began to replace workers' physical labor, and during this period, the process
of manufacturing a product became more simple, and output rose significantly due to
the convenience of the machine employed for production. Small machines controlled by
young boys and girls who became certified employees after a relatively short time of
training replaced the hand tools used by workers and artisans who had learned their
abilities via many years of painstaking apprenticeship.

it also has a substantial detrimental influence on the lives of the workers. Due to the
extreme concentration of people in industrial regions, severe problems with group social
interactions, adaptability, and tolerance have arisen. Business owners began to
recognize social difficulties in the workplace as the number of workers rose and bosses
got less involved with their employees. Low pay, long working hours, and terrible labor
conditions all contributed to significant social and economic issues.

management function?

recruiting, and placement. Management's first objective was to recruit and hire people in
order to supply an appropriate and competent labor force. The significance of this is that
the owner will learn how to choose the best or most appropriate employees for the
particular job that has been allocated to them. Since having qualified personnel is
important in order to give the greatest potential productivity and output.

5. What is the fourth function of human resource management? Discuss its

importance to the workers and business operation.

terms, the interpretation, administration, and execution of collective bargaining
