● When planning or designing individual incentives, it is important to
understand that research on incentive programs has found that a
minimum bonus of what percent of base pay is required to influence or
change behavior? Answer: 10 percent
Research has shown that, in order to effectively influence or change
behavior, a minimum bonus target of 10 percent is required. This is
because bonus targets of less than 10 percent of base pay may not
sufficiently motivate employees to put forward the required effort to
achieve the desired outcomes.
● Which concept under union security clauses requires that all
employees join the union within a grace period specified in the contract
of no more than thirty days? Answer: The union security clause requires
members of the union to provide financial support to the union so that it
will be financially able to carry out its bargaining obligations. The
following are part of a union security clause:
Union shop clause: Requires that all employees join the union within a
grace period that is specified by the contract but is no fewer than 30
days, or, in the construction industry, 7 days.
● On which OSHA form would you log the work-related injuries and
illnesses? Answer: Correct answer: OSHA form 300
,The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has
established reporting requirements with legally required compliance.
Among these include the requirement of businesses employing eleven or
more employees to maintain records of all workplace injuries and
illnesses and post them on form 300A. Form 300A is commonly known
as the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses and works in
conjunction with forms 300, the log of work-related injuries and
illnesses, and 301, the injury and illness incident report.
OSHA 300: Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
OSHA 301: Injury and Illness Incident Report
OSHA 300A: Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
There is no form 301A.
● An HR manager at a manufacturing company is training new
supervisors on OSHA injury reporting. Which of the following
documents must be completed each time a recordable workplace injury
or illness occurs? Answer: Correct answer: OSHA Form 301, Injury and
Illness Incident Report
This form is used to capture specific details about each work-related
injury or illness, and must be completed for each recordable incident.
OSHA Form 300A is incorrect because it is a summary report compiled
annually, not per incident, and is posted from February through April.
, OSHA Form 300 is incorrect because while it logs incidents, it serves as
a cumulative log, not an incident-specific report.
OSHA Form 302 is not a real OSHA-required document and is included
here as a distractor.
● To be in compliance with the FTC's disposal rules, an employer may
do any of the following to destroy a document except: Answer: Correct
answer: Compact
The FTC issued a disposal rule in 2005 for confidential employee or
applicant documents in order to protect their sensitive information. The
documents must be destroyed so they cannot be reviewed or
reconstructed, such as burning, shredding, or pulverizing them. Simply
throwing the documents in the recycling bin will not destroy the
information.
● Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act Answer: The Walsh-Healey
Public Contracts Act applies to non-construction federal contracts
exceeding $10,000. Since the company is producing goods (furniture)
under a federal supply contract, this law requires them to pay the local
prevailing wage to their workers.

McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act covers service-based federal
contracts, not manufacturing or goods.
