Packed with today's most current cases and examples, Walsh's EMPLOYMENT LAW FOR HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICE, 6E addresses legal issues for each stage of the employment process -- from hiring and managing to firing. Students see how legal concepts apply to business situations as hands-on applications build skills in issue framing, critical thinking, and legal reasoning. Students learn what is legal and what is not, how to avoid potential problems and when to turn to a lawyer. Coverage addresses today's most important employment law topics, including the latest legislation, regulations, and case law. New or expanded topics cover social media in recruitment, joint employer liability, employment status of interns, arbitration agreements, pregnancy discrimination, sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination, harassment, tipped employees, wellness programs and the Affordable Care Act.
