Background:
The owners of Viral Clean (Conner, Denise, Larisa, and Sam) are responsible for
different components of the business. Each aspect has a legal implication.
Please prepare a report that discusses the law for each aspect. For each aspect,
the report must address the following:
• Identify the component that is central to each of the four scenarios and
explain the relevant area of the law.
• As a general matter, explain why understanding the area of the law helps
Clean.
• Identify Clean’s rights and liabilities in the area of the law and make
specific recommendations of how Clean can minimize its liabilities.
Conner:
Conner is responsible for purchasing PPE and cleaning supplies from EPI.
Although Conner is a Clean owner, he also operates his own separate
company. His company sells outerwear and athletic clothing online. While
unning his company, he had several instances where the manufacturer did not
deliver the co
ect product to his company. He also had cases where the
clothing did not meet the contract specifications. As a result, his company had
shipping delays to the customers, and his company also shipped the wrong
product to its customers.
Conner wants to avoid this situation for Clean. However, if this should happen
to Clean, Conner wants to understand Clean's rights as a purchaser from EPI
and its liabilities as a reseller to customers. Please address the law to help
Conner understand Clean’s rights and liabilities.
Denise:
Denise is responsible for human resources, risk-avoidance, and insurance for
Clean. Denise is preparing a workers’ handbook for Clean. The handbook’s
elevant sections cover job-related injuries to workers and Cleans’ customers.
The workbook explains the actions that must be taken when there are on-the-
job injuries. Clean’s workers include employees and independent contractors.
Please address the law to help Denise prepare the relevant sections of the
workers’ handbook.
Larisa:
Larisa is responsible for executive talent acquisition. Clean will retain the
executives using three-year employment agreements. Larisa wants to ensure
that the employment agreements are valid and enforceable. The agreements
must address the executives' duties and authority.
Larisa does not know what is required to ensure that the employment
agreements are valid and enforceable. She is also unsure of the law that
cover’s the executives’ duties and authority. Please address the law that will
assist Larisa.
Sam:
Sam is responsible for government compliance and product development. Sam
ensures that all PPE and cleaning solutions meet the Center for Disease
Control’s guidelines. Sam also monitors the laws in the states where Clean’s
PPE and cleaning solution are sold. He ensures that the states are not planning
to ban any of the cleaning solution’s ingredients.
Please address the law that will assist Sam when states plan to ban the cleaning
solution’s ingredients.
