Ronald's Hardware located in Windsor, Ontario is made up of the owner, Ronald Green, and his 55 employees. Ronald does not employ a Human Resources employee or a Health and Safety employee on his team as his company is so small.

Recently, Ronald had a conversation with his friend, Petra Hall. Petra works for a large manufacturing facility in Milton, Ontario. Petra is responsible for both Human Resources and Safety at her organization. Petra was sharing with Ronald all of the legal responsibilities she has at work. While Ronald was listening to Petra talk, he became increasingly concerned as he does not have anyone addressing these legal issues at his company.

Ronald has a lot happening in the next 6 months. He will be hiring a new Supervisor, addressing an increasing number of back injuries in the warehouse, employee complaints about overtime pay and how to deal with rumours of a union drive at his company.
