Write a 3-5 page compensation and benefits package for a new expatriate position working for either Java Corp or an organization with which you are familiar.
Introduction
Structuring and communicating a total compensation package that meets regulatory requirements and the needs of a global workforce requires a delicate balancing act between what is required and what will contribute to an effective relationship between employer, employee, and the community or country in which the company operates. Communicating benefits programs to employees can be as important as the benefits themselves. Knowing how to leverage all available compensation options is a necessary skill for any HR professional.
Preparation
Research compensation and benefits for either Java Corp or an organization of your choice. A minimum of four resources are required to support your work.
Scenario
For this assessment, choose either option 1 or 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the instructions below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.
Option 1
You are the new HR manager for Java Corp, a domestic cold coffee and tea company. Java Corp is opening a new office in London, England. You are planning on filling one executive level position with a U.S. citizen. In the scenario, the employee filling the role can either be an existing employee or a new hire. The term of the initial assignment is two years. Design a compensation package for this position as the new HR manager.
Option 2
Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information to complete the assessment. You may use the same organization you have used in past assessments.
If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.
Research the compensation and benefits of the chosen organization. The company is opening a new branch office in London, England. You are planning on filling one executive level position with a U.S. citizen. This employee can be newly hired or an existing employee. The term of the initial assignment is two years. You are the new HR manager and must design a compensation package for this position.

(See attached file for template)
The grade rubric for this assignment is linked below, please review it to ensure max points.
Due Week III, Sunday 11:59pm, PDT. No late work. While the student may submit this assignment at any time until Sunday, Week III, 11:59pm, the instructor only permits one submission. Please be sure to review your work prior to submitting it.
Part 1: Students are to complete a 2 – 3 page APA7th compliant paper that includes double spaced Microsoft Word document, with an introduction and a thesis sentence. Then use headings to break up each point with making a connection to what they see and hear in the video with any 4 concepts found in Noe et al. from Chapters 9 – 14 – see the grade rubric below. Describe what you saw and/or heard in the film, time stamp it, and then make a connection from one of the theories in Noe by first defining the concept(s) it matches in Noe et al., citing the source in APA7th, and then writing a sentence or two stating how the two relate. Avoided generalizations or making interpretations without first giving the facts to base those interpretations. This is not an analysis of Selmer’s views.
Part II: Answered these questions in 1 to 2 pages using APA7th headings to separate the work. (This is a separate grade): What are some of the challenges with Selmer’s theories at work? If his theories were applied, are they equitable (can they be used) across all industries?
No outside sources for both parts is required.

You and your group have been working on your panel presentation about the death penalty for several weeks, with one week to go before you are responsible for conducting the panel discussion in your class. This project represents a major portion of your grade in the small group class, and you are required to conclude your presentation by taking a position—your group must come out either in favor of or against the death penalty. After hashing this out for weeks, you have sorted through all your evidence and have almost reached consensus that you will come out in favor of the death penalty. This week, while doing library research for another class, you happen upon a new study, based on systematic examination of states with the death penalty, that strongly suggests the death penalty does not deter crime. The study seems well done; you don’t think you can dismiss it as a piece of biased or poorly done research. But you know if you present it to your group, you’ll push your emerging consensus further away, and you hate to do that! You are so close now to agreement, and you know this study will set you back. What do you do?
For what reasons would you present the article to your group?
For what reasons would you withhold the article?
What would you actually do?
