Synopsis

In recent years there has been a revolution in the law of the workplace. The burgeoning discipline of employment law has replaced labor law, the law of union-management relations, as the relationship with the individual employee has become the key factor. This book familiarizes the reader with the basics of US employment law. It is oriented both to students taking a course in employment law and to human resources professionals who need to deal daily with matters that have legal significance. Employment Law examines the relevant statutes, judicial decisions, executive orders, and administrative policies that shape the respective rights of managers and workers at the workplace. It goes well beyond simply stating what is legal and what is illegal. It assumes that the student and the professional needs to understand the principles underlying the law so that he or she can evaluate an organization's decisions against those principles. The authors make wide use of case material and administrative regulation, since it is the cases and regulations that ultimately identify and explain the legal principles as the major force influencing and shaping government policy.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Employment Law familiarizes the reader with the basics of employment law. It is oriented towards both students taking a course in employment law and human resource professionals whose personnel decisions have immediate legal ramifications. This book examines the relevant statutes, judicial decisions, executive orders, and administrative policies that shape the respective rights of managers and workers at the workplace. It goes well beyond simply stating what is legal and what is illegal, but also provides the student and the professional with the basis for evaluating the legal consequences and efficacy of a firm s human resource policies.

The second edition of this book has been updated throughout, and now includes recent legal doctrine as well as a focus on new developments, such as the EEOC s program for the mediation of EEO disputes. Also added are cases illustrating the continued application of disparate treatment and disparate impact analysis. Chapters on gender and leave issues in employment, age, religious, and national origin discrimination, affirmative action, employment of the handicapped, privacy, employment at will, and drug testing and the law, have also been significantly revised to examine the continued evolution of public policy in these areas over the current decade.
