Minuteman Press is a small manufacturer and reseller of imprinted business forms. The company has annual sales of about $8 million, mostly around Bear River and Nova Scotia. The owner, Vicki Ekstrom, built up the business over 40 years. She uses high-quality materials resulting in high production costs and high retail prices. Resetting the equipment for relatively short production runs of customized productstakes extra time and increases costs. Ryan Stylesrecently started his newjob (recently promoted to general manager.) Ryan is a recent graduate of a community college business program. There are a few supervisors who oversee production, their responsibilities are clearly spelled out, so the supervisors often support one another. There is no system for scheduling production; in fact, there are few systems of any kind. Vicki tends to resolve most decisions and issues. Most of the firm employees (35) work in production. The company also has several salespeople, a few travel around Nova Scotia (usually the entry level recruits.) Additionally, there is one book- keeperto keep records and issue the paycheques. Several office employees handle routine administrative tasks. Vicki manages most areas of the company without supervisors(accounting, marketing, human resources.) Vicki feels she is a generous employer. The company cannot sustain the recurring cost of any formal employee benefits. Sometimes, sick workers are kept on payroll for a considerable time, especially if Sheila knOWS the worker has a family to support. There islittle interest by employees in unionization due to Sheila's interest in her employees. Minuteman has no formal system for determining compensation. Vicki tends to make all pay decisions on the spur of the moment, so almost everybody has a different pay rate. There is no policy for annual raises, so any employee who wants a raise has to approach Vicki. Depending on her mood (and how much she knows about you). Vicki gives raises to most people who approach her. When the company is profitable raises are higher. They are also higher if she knOWS the employee has a family to support, or if the employee's spouse has been laid off, or if the employee has added a new member of the family. Every Christmas, if profits allow, Vicki gives grocery gift cards to employees (based on what she says are their contributions to Minuteman.) In early December, she sits down with her employee list, by each department, and pencils in an amount next to each name. Everybody gets something, but the amounts vary greatly. If Vicki can associate a face with the name (which is difficult sometimes, because new employees seem to turn over a lot), she tends to give larger bonuses. Longerterm employees tend to receive much higher bonuses than new employees. Vicki has noticed this tendency, but assumes that if an employee has been with the firm longer, that person must be more productive, so this is fair. Vicki personally distributes the gift cards on the last working day before Christmas. Since Vicki has been with the business 40 years, she is planning to gradually step away from the business over the next year or two and turn the operation of the business over to the new General Manager Ryan Styles (Ryan was not aware of this when he accepted the promotion at Minuteman.) In addition to Ryan's new challenge, the company bookkeeper informed Vicki and Ryan that there wasn't enough money in the bank to meet payroll. You are the principal partner of your very own human resources consulting firm. You have accepted the contract to work with Ryan Styles of Minuteman Press.
