The purpose of this review of literature and professional/academic sources is to learn about a topic in order to prepare a Family Life Education Project presentation.

1. Select a topic appropriate for a Family Life Education Project. Topics should be related to children and families. Submit topic choice(s) for approval. Following the approval process, begin researching your topic.

2. Prepare a bibliography of eight professional/academic sources, written in APA format. Acceptable sources include: professional/academic journals, books, professional/academic websites, popular press (limit of 1 popular press source). You can supplement your project with any of the material in the “Resources” module.

3. In the introductory paragraph, identify and describe the intended audience with whom you plan to share the information you gather during the literature review. This is a crucial step in the preparation of your project as your audience drives your topic and your research-focus.

4. Begin with a brief description of the topic. However, the major portion of the paper describes research and practice from professional/academic sources, using in-text citations in APA format. A bibliography is included. Papers should be 5-8 pages in length, excluding bibliography.

5. Note the rubric used in evaluating this assignment: Family Life Education Project – Part 1 Evaluation Rubric, 100 points

Workplace Safety and Compensation:

ASSIGNMENT

conduct a  study on workplace safety and compensation.  Use the organization for which you currently or previously have worked as the basis of this study.Begin with a brief overview of the organization that includes the type of business, location and size of workforce.Next, you will explore compensation at your organization. You must discuss the following issues:

  • Summarize the scope and authority of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
  •  70% of American companies are not in compliance with FLSA. Does your organization fully comply with FLSA? Explain why or why not.
  • What impact do your state laws have on compensation at your organization?

Now, examine the core components of the American workers’ compensation safety net:

  • Summarize workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, workers’ compensation, Social Security, and retirement benefits policies at your organization.
  • How well do you think your organization provides support, education, training, or resources in these areas?

Finally, summarize how Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations apply to your organization and then answer the following questions:

  • Have there been any OSHA violations at your organization in the last five years? If you do not know, you can visit OSHA’s Establishment Search and enter your organization’s name, state, zip code, and requested dates to see any recorded inspections and violations.
  • Do you believe either compliance or non-compliance with OSHA standards has impacted your organization’s bottom line (positively or negatively.) Consider aspects like lost time or revenue, compensation claims, personnel loss that can result from violations. Support your opinion with specific examples.

minimum of two pages. Use at least three distinct, academic sources—one for each topic (compensation, safety net, OSHA)
