7. Mr. Jones would like to overhaul the  selection system. He would like you to discuss the requirements under  the law, advantages, and disadvantages of implementing a drug test at  the Inn. Then, either make, or do not make, a recommendation for the  Sleep Tight Inn to implement a drug test based on your research.

Sleep Tight Inn scenario:

 

The Sleep Tight! Resort and Conference Center of Albuquerque, N.M.  has a staff of over 300 full time employees and 100 seasonal employees  in 10 different job categories. For the past twenty-five years the  resort has been run by the Clause family. The Clause family has had  experience in running several small motels and were very knowledgeable  of the industry. However, while they tried to treat the employees  fairly, Mimi Clause, the Manager, knew nothing of proper HR practices  and tended to make arbitrary decisions. She left many of the HR  decisions to the employment department which consisted of a secretary  and an employment supervisor who had been a secretary for Mimi’s mother.  Eighteen months ago, the family decided to hire Frank Jones as the new  Manager of the resort.

After evaluating the current operations, Frank Jones, decided that  the Resort was in fairly good shape except for the lack of standardized  Human Resource practices. Very little information existed to support any  of the past employment decisions, especially in the area of selection.  Although Jones does not have any direct experience in HR, he had taken  several courses in HRM while in college.

In the last eighteen months, Jones has encountered several problems. He would like you to:

  • Evaluate the situation and identify the problem
  • Include short bullet point recommendations for each weekly assignment.
