IELTS® General Reading Practice 38

The answer is v. Section A is best matched with "Employee Information and Attestation" because it states, "All demographics and information pertaining to all employees of Powell Associates must be up-to-date and kept confidential. Employers are responsible for retaining this information. All employees must provide a full legal last name, first name, and middle initial." This clearly shows the section focuses on recording and attesting to employee information. The relevant information is found in Section A.

Associated Text:
All demographics and information pertaining to all employees of Powell Associates must be up-to-date and kept confidential. Employers are responsible for retaining this information. All employees must provide a full legal last name, first name, and middle initial.

The answer is i. Section B is best described by "Employer Responsibility" because it details the duties of the employer, including verifying employee information and contacting appropriate offices if there is suspicion. The passage in Section B specifically says, "Employers have many things that they must complete. Firstly, they must verify that employee information is credible and accurate."

Associated Text:
Employers have many things that they must complete. Firstly, they must verify that employee information is credible and accurate. Employers must examine the evidence of identity and employment authorization within the first two weeks of employment. In the case that the employer suspects wrongdoing or false information on the employee's documentation, the appropriate offices must be contacted.

The answer is ix. Section C corresponds to "Reverification and Rehiring". The section clearly discusses the protocol if an employee has previously worked for Powell Associates, labeling them as a rehire and explaining verification procedures for name changes. This comes directly from Section C.

Associated Text:
In the event that an employee has worked for Powell Associates in the past, employers must follow different protocol. Even in the case that the employee was an unpaid intern, he or she would still be considered as a rehire for the company. As such, the employee can skip the verification process and rely on past forms. If, however, names have been changed, the employee must be treated as a new employee in all cases.

The answer is ii. Section D is about filing fees because it explains the employee's responsibility to "complete and process a monetary charge for filing the paperwork," and mentions the related fee. This clearly matches the heading "Filing Fees", and is found in Section D.

Associated Text:
It is the employee's responsibility to complete and process a monetary charge for filing the paperwork. The form is not filed with a government agency, and thus, is subject to a fee. All employees can discuss payment and receipt with the appropriate supervisor.

The answer is vi. Section E fits "Data Confidentiality and Disclosure" because it discusses confidentiality and what to do in case of a breach: "The collection of this information comes with a due process of privacy and confidentiality. An employee can expect that the data shared with his or her employer will not be shared with third parties..." This evidence is found in Section E.

Associated Text:
The collection of this information comes with a due process of privacy and confidentiality. An employee can expect that the data shared with his or her employer will not be shared with third parties unless otherwise noted. If there are cases of a breach in this contract, it is imperative that the employer notify the appropriate Board of Directors of Powell Associates in order for prompt action to be taken.

The answer is iv. Section F is about "Emergency Contacts" and states, "Employees should note that the section entitled, ‘Next of Kin’ is reserved for those selected individuals that should be contacted in the case of crisis or unexpected occurrence." This is a direct reference to emergency contacts and is from Section F.

Associated Text:
Employees should note that the section entitled, “Next of Kin” is reserved for those selected individuals that should be contacted in the case of crisis or unexpected occurrence. While this is optional, employees are advised to include as much information as possible in order for Powell Associates to make appropriate decisions in the unlikely event of an emergency.

The answer is x. Section G corresponds to "Anti-Discrimination Notice" because it says, "It is illegal to discriminate against any work-authorized individuals in hiring, discharge, recruitment, or referral. The refusal to hire an individual because of race, creed, or nationality is absolutely prohibited." This is explicitly an anti-discrimination notice from Section G.

Associated Text:
It is illegal to discriminate against any work-authorized individuals in hiring, discharge, recruitment, or referral. The refusal to hire an individual because of race, creed, or nationality is absolutely prohibited. If employees believe that they have been subjected to such treatment, it is imperative that they follow-up with the Board of Directors of Powell Associates.
