PART 1
Employment and in particular labor laws are significantly complex for government and
private sector players like Reynolds Plastic Products. Although the company is trying is
maximum best to have fair compensation policies it is somehow contravening the
compensation practices in legal requirements. Most applicable employment and labor laws
are basically determined by the nature of the business the employer engages in. laws such as
the Canada labor code and the much strict federal employment equity act are the laws that
govern compensation. Reynolds plastic although federally regulated will still conform to
certain provincial laws that relates to compensation of its workers (DeCenzo, Robbins &

a) Contravention of legal requirements
The compensation laws as a mechanism for extinguishing obligations and the legal
requirements to apply it are important. We distinguish between legal and conventional

Evaluate the incentive compensation practices
a) What is appropriate and inappropriate about current practices
Understaffing- employing very few workers to take a lot of work in the company and not
hiring either on permanent or contractual basis.
Underpayment- compensation is done not only irregularly but also the workers are not paid
according to market rates and compensation labor laws.
Overworking- as a plastic company with few workers, the company overworks its employees
and as a result there is excessive fatigue and abject disregard of human working conditions.
Delayed salary- sometimes the salaries are delayed leading to demoralization of workers at
the site(Association, 2016).
