I thought I would stary off with an intoduction about myself. I am Rick 25 yrs old. Currrently a Staff Sargent in the US Air Force. Originally from DC but now residing in Texas. I am taking classes to hopefully get my degree in Health Care Administration.
Ok here it goes i hope somebody here can help me. Im taking a human resource class and the topic they want me to discuss is "at will" hiring/termination practices. Here is the scenario: Jane recently started working for Sundown Community Hospital in the claims/billing department. Her duties included preparing and submitting Medicare/Medicaid claims for payment. Shortly after being hired Jane discovered irregularities which were potentially illegal billings to Medicare. When she raised the issue to her supervisor James, she was terminated. Jane inquired as to the reason and was told that according to the staff handbook all employees are hired "At Will"; thus, no reason or notice was needed for termination.
As the director of HR for Sundown Community Hospital what concerns would you have over Jane's termination?
I have googled and yahooed the heck out of this topic but i can't really find anything. All I can really find is the definition of an "at will" employee. Anybody out there got some insight on this topic? Thanks in advance
