Right Answer: AExplanation: Answer options C, B, and A are correct.C and B are both obviously correct. Although A may seem counterintuitive to some because many employers are hesitant to terminate employees for policy violations, those terminated for cause generally aren't eligible for unemployment insurance. Because retaining an employee who is not contributing to the organization is a poor business decision, maintaining adequate records to demonstrate the reasons for termination provides the tools to fight claims that are unjustified.Chapter: Compensation and BenefitsObjective: Review Questions2. Right Answer: CExplanation: Answer option C is correct.Fiduciary responsibility implies a greater legal obligation to act with great care and responsibility on behalf of a company. Acting in one's own self-interest, conflicting duties, and profiting from a role are all examples of how HR could breach this obligation.

Developing a philosophy to target employees with theKSAs needed by the organization can help advance the organization's mission.
