Contemporary Employment Law, Fourth Edition, is a straightforward approach to learning the legal essentials of managing a modern workforce, through a practical, balanced discussion of employment and labor law. Designed for a one-semester course that covers the major aspects of employment and discrimination law, the text begins by identifying the differences between employees and independent contractors. In a three-part format, the authors cover the Employment Relationship, Equal Opportunity Laws, and Employee Protections and Benefits. The text is written with the student in mind, with interesting examples, concept summaries, modern topics and issues, and a clearly written narrative approach to the material. The revised Fourth Edition continues to provide the information students need in a practical and contemporary text.
