Case Example 22.4 Patty Lee Smith was a pharmaceutical sales representative at Johnson and Johnson (J&J). She traveled to ten physicians’ offices a day to promote the benefits of J&J’s drugs. Smith’s work was unsupervised, she controlled her own schedule, and she received a salary of $66,000. When she filed a claim for overtime pay, the court held that she was an administrative employee and therefore exempt from the FLSA’s overtime provisions.

Discussion:
2. Child Labor laws have shifted dramatically in our country. Children used to be producers in the family and have now become consumers. What do you think is an appropriate age for a child to be allowed to start working? If you believe that children can work, do you think that there should be limitations on the type of jobs that they are able to have? What do you think about different labor and educational laws for migrant children? Describe the labor laws you would want to see in effect.

[T]he moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
—Last Speech of Hubert H. Humphrey
It might seem intuitive that laws created to protect the most vulnerable parties in our population should be straightforward and without complicating circumstances, but this is far from the case. There are many ethical dilemmas that may arise for psychologists regarding the unintended consequences of reporting abuse or neglect of children, elders, and residents of long-term care facilities.
Consider, for example, that you are working with a young mother in your private practice. She confides that she has been poorly and inadequately treated in several mental health agencies and she specifically sought your services in private practice because she heard you are very supportive of recovering drug addicts. She is recovering from drug abuse, wants to stay on the right path, and has come to you for help; however, she informs you that as recently as five days ago she did not have any formula or breast milk for her infant (a frequent situation in past months). If it had not been for her sister being unexpectedly home and willing to buy formula, your client has no idea what she would have done. Is this neglect? Should you report the situation and risk alienating your client from receiving your help? What about your duty to protect and do no harm to your client? Her baby? If you do not report it, are you opening yourself to charges that could potentially lead to losing your license to practice? What is the correct legal and ethical decision? Is there one? Are the legally and ethically correct responses the same or different?
This week, you consider issues related to mandated reporting laws and rules through the lens of a case study. Being knowledgeable about these policies, especially as they pertain to your state or jurisdiction, is an important and necessary component of your ethical repertoire.

I’m looking for someone who does not use Chegg or Course Hero or any online cites to provide your answers. The professor checks these other sites as well. If you do this to provide your answers and don’t use your own, let me know immediately so I can choose someone else to assist me. I have been notified that an assignment was linked to Chegg or Course Hero etc.
Here’s the two pages that I found in the book (Pictures attached). Also attached a sample.

I would like to do Women in Law Enforcement for my Core Assessment Topic. I choose this topic, because I think that women play an important role in law enforcement even though they make up a short percentage of law enforcement personnel. One of the reason’s that they play an important role, is their ability to deal with conflicts differently than men. Here are my six sources that I will be using for my Core Assessment. I retrieved 3 of the sources from the school library, two from the web and the last one is the text book for the class. Looking forward to your feedback on my topic and hoping to get this topic approved.
