Answer 1

Franco, an employee at funds corp., arrives late at the office on a Monday morning due to a personal emergency. his manager fires him, although this was the first instance of Franco arriving late at work. Franco is upset because some of his other coworkers are chronically late to work, but they have not been fired. in this scenario, Franco would conclude a lack of  interactional justice  in dealing with employees who arrive late at work.
Interactional justice is defined as degree to which the people affected by decision are treated by dignity and respect.

Answer 2

In this situation, Franco would conclude a lack of Organizational Justice.

In Organizational Justice, an employee judges the behavior of the organization towards their employees. This judgement would be on the basis of fairness, performance, ethics, religion, law, etc. If any decision of the organization seems to be violating any of these, an employee would think that Organizational Justice is not being prevailed in the organization, and he is being treated wrong and an injustice is happening with him/her.

In this scenario, Franco was late only one due to an emergency, whereas his colleagues are mostly late at work, but they were never given a warning even, and he was just been fired. So he this the company is lacking Organizational Justice.
