ServProf Inc. is a financial consulting firm that is currently recruiting new employees. One of the policies of the company states that an employee must work in the company for a minimum of one year and sign a contract with the company confirming the acceptance. Employees who accept the job offer agree to this policy, and it does not adversely affect them. However, it is against the law for companies to follow such a policy. In this scenario, ServProf Inc. has engaged in _____ behavior.

Answer 1

Answer:

Illegal yet ethical

Explanation:

In this scenario, ServProf Inc. has engaged in illegal yet ethical behavior.

The reason is that since binding the employees in such kind of contacts is against the law and anything that is against the law is considered illegal.

It is ethical because it is important to bind an employee in a time. They tend to leave the employment as soon as they learn a skill or fins a better job and leave the company stranded. Therefore, companies need security that their operations will run for at least a year.
