Employees and management work together for reviewing organizational performance.2. The organization and the employees share the financial gains.3. If the goals for improvements are met, employees and managers share the success.Answer option C is incorrect. This is not the key component of gainsharing.Chapter: Compensation and BenefitsObjective: Compensation2. Right Answer: BExplanation: Answer option B is correct.The WARN Act requires employers to provide 60 days' notice when 500 employees or 33 percent of the workforce are laid off, and it requires the number to be counted over a period of 90 days. Five employees a week for 3 months is a total of 65 employees (5 employees times 13 weeks), which is 33 percent of the workforce. The three exceptions are the 'faltering company exception' (D) when knowledge of a layoff will negatively impact the company's ability to obtain additional funding, the 'unforeseeable business circumstance' (C) when unexpected circumstances occur, and the 'natural disaster' (A) exception. See Chapter for more information.Chapter: Workforce Planning and EmploymentObjective: Organization Exit/Off-Boarding Processes3. Right Answer: DExplanation: Answer option D is correct.A co-worker who witnesses the ongoing harassment of another individual may have an actionable claim of a hostile work environment. A single incident of unwanted touching (C), unless it is particularly offensive or intimidating, will not reach the threshold of a hostile work environment established by the courts. A hostile work environment may be created by any individual in the workplace, including customers, vendors, or visitors, in addition to supervisors or co-workers (A)., the Supreme Court held that the mere existence of a grievance procedure and antiharassment policy (B) does not necessarily protect an employer from hostile work environment claims. See Chapter 7 for more information.Chapter: Employee and Labor RelationsObjective: Federal Employment Legislation4. Right Answer: BExplanation: Answer option B is correct.The documentation of attendance in a performance review would cause the event to be a requirement or at least affect the person's employment. This would disqualify the event from being non-paid. The fourth requirement is that no other work is performed during the event.Answer options A, D, and C are incorrect. The event must be outside normal work hours, the event must be voluntary, and the event may not be job related are among the four requirements to keep the event as a non-paid event.Certification Guide, HR Certification Institute, ISBN: 978-1-586-44149-4, Section III, The US Body of Knowledge.Chapter: Compensation and BenefitsObjective: Total Rewards Defined5. Right Answer: DExplanation: Answer option D is correct.The purpose of a diversity initiative is to increase the effectiveness of an already diverse workforce by educating the employee population about the benefits of a diverse workforce, which includes increased creativity (C) and an enhanced ability to attract customers (A). See Chapter 2 for more information.Chapter: Human Resource DevelopmentObjective: Unique Employee Needs .col-md-12 { -webkit-user-select: none; -ms-user-select: none; user-select: none; } .flash-sale-container{background:#134981;text-align:center;padding:2%;} p.flash-sale-text{ font-size:24px;font-family:"Poppins";letter-spacing:2px;line-height:1.4em; } span.flash-break{ display:block; } .flash-sale-text { -webkit-animation-name:flash; animation: blink 1.5s infinite; } @keyframes blink{ 0% { color: #D3585F; } 20% { color: #D3585F; } 40% { color: #FFF; } 60% { color: #FFF; } 80% { color: #D3585F; } 100% { color: #D3585F; } } @-webkit-keyframes blink{ 0% { color: #D3585F; } 20% { color: #D3585F; } 40% { color: #FFF; } 60% { color: #FFF; } 80% { color: #D3585F; } 100% { color: #D3585F; } } 80% DISCOUNT: SPHR PRACTICE EXAMS

WBS also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control along with providing guidance for schedule development and control.Answer option B is incorrect.
