Resolving Ethical Dilemmas

For this discussion, you will use the conflict faced by Karah in Self-Test 2 (reproduced below) and apply the decision-making model you found for M3D1.

Karah is hiring a human resources expert to conduct recruiting, hiring, payroll, and benefits administration for her 50-employee, non-profit organization. She has reviewed the IRS rules on classification of consultants as independent contractors versus employees, and believes the way she has structured the HR expert’s work for the organization makes her an employee, not an independent contractor. Even after explaining this to her boss, Karah’s boss orders her to pay the HR expert as an independent contractor so the organization does not have to pay payroll taxes for her.

Respond to the following:

  • Applying the decision-making model you found for M3D1, describe the steps Karah should take to attempt to resolve her ethical dilemma.
  • If Karah had applied Cooper’s model instead of the model you found, would she have reached a different conclusion?  Why or why not?
