Employee Relations Case study Ever wondered what it is like to work in a different country form your home? With a sixty percent expatriate working force, the UAE must protect this vital working force (Ministry of Labour UAE, 2020). Various challenges come about with working in a different country. However, there are various laws in host nations and other international agreements that allow for people to offer labor in a foreign land. In the UAE, labor guidelines are offered by the UAE Federal Labour Law (8) of 1980 (Bobker, 2015). The law stipulates federal laws for allowing entry into the UAE for a job and how to acquire job permits. Besides, it further specifies mechanisms for change of employment while in the country and restrictions towards a shift of working station. It provides prosecution guidelines against labor-related offenses while also underlining strict measures to curb employee exploitation (Cherian, 2019). UAE provides an uncompetitive working environment putting in place stringent standards to restrict switching works while in the US.

Zcm-Case Study 1, Week Early addiction to alcohol is the source of all the problems that Elizabeth is currently going through in her life. She started drinking at a tender age and slowly, she became an addict of narcotic, and she could not go a day without being high. As it is currently, the rehabilitation exercise required to assist Elizabeth to recover from her drinking habit will require both medical treatment and spiritual treatment such as giving words of encouragements because medical treatment alone cannot help heal Elizabeth and liberate her from the living style she had adopted. At the rehabilitation centre, there are rehabilitation exercises that Elizabeth can perform on a daily basis to help her recover from the condition. For instance, daily physical activity in the morning and evening can help her forget about her past and focus on the future.

For the addicts such as Elizabeth, routine exercise followed…

Analysis of the Case Study of Melody in Chapter Nine Generally, rape or sexual assault involves forceful penetration into an individual without their permission through either anal, vagina, or maybe verbal sexual harassment. Additionally, touching someone’s private body parts or sexual organs by force may also be illustrated as sexual harassment, which is illegal and highly punishable by the laws and regulations of the land. Typically, most of the sexual delinquents become very cruel and regularly apply force to harm the victims, or at times they end up killing them after assaulting them sexually. However, even though both women and girls become the most affected victims of sexual assault reported cases, there also exist some rare cases whereby men have also been sexually assaulted by women. However, they seldom say such incidents for fear of being regarded as the weaklings. Similarly, the society itself does not believe that a male gender can get sexually harassed by the opposite gender (woman); hence it would be a challenging situation for a man towards substantiating he alleges of being assaulted sexually by a…
