11. You are the newly hired HR manager at a high-tech company, App Inc., which has experienced
phenomenal growth since it started 2 years ago. Until recently, it only had one office, its head office

other provinces, with plans to expand into two more before year-end. Its workforce has grown from
25 EEs two years ago to 264 EEs today. A recently hired employee, Carolina, has come to you because
she wants to take a few days off to take care of her 4-year-old son who has the flu. Her supervisor
has turned her down, saying that the company is very busy right now. App Inc. doesn’t seem to have
a written policy on this yet, but you know that there are legal requirements it must comply with.

12. In the early 1980s, the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau wanted Canada to have its own
constitution with an entrenched bill of rights. However, negotiations stalled over concerns that the
proposed Charter of Rights would be too powerful, putting too much power in the hands of the
courts. To ensure that federal and provincial parliaments maintained supremacy over the courts, a
clause was included in the Charter – a sort of “escape hatch” – which gave legislatures the power to
override certain portions of the Charter for five-year terms when passing legislation. This clause
originally was intended to be used only in the most unusual of circumstances but recently several
provincial premiers have used, or threatened to use, it on a more routine basis. What is the name of
this clause?
a. The “Notwithstanding” clause
b. The “Provisional Acceptance” clause
