[SOLVED] Employer’s compensation plan

Points: 100 employer’s compensation plan
Overview:
This week’s assignment forum focuses on the fringe benefits provided by an employer’s compensation plan. This is the fifth assignment forum related to your course project.
Your Unit 5 assignment forum is based on the Whitley vs BP, P.L.C. case study found in Chapter 12 of your textbook. The case involved a denial of benefits. At issue was the legality of a stock-drop suit directly in light of the Supreme Court’s recently stated
requirements for such cases. The appellate court ultimately found the stockholders’ amended complaint as insufficient, and the district court erred in granting the stockholders’ motion to amend. You will explore the facts leading up to a decision in this
case and evaluate the importance of this ruling to human resources practice of and your role as a human resources practitioner.
Instructions:
In your role as the Human Resource Manager you will have to provide benefits as part of a wholistic compensation strategy.
Read the Whitley vs BP, P.L.C. case study found in Chapter 12 of your textbook readings this week.
Based on your review of the case study, address the following:
1. The appellate court ultimately found the stockholders’ amended complaint as
insufficient, and the district court erred in granting the stockholders’ motion to
amend. Discuss the determining factors that led to this conclusion. In
responding to this topic, be sure to address any types of pension plans the court
referenced in their ruling.
2. Benefits such as pension plans and healthcare plans are commonly leveraged to
attract and retain top talent. Evaluate how the role of benefits as a compensation
strategy impacts your practice as a Human Resources Manager.
3. After posting your submission to the assignment forum, review at least one other
classmate’s posting. Use the RISE model of peer feedback to provide your
