Introduce the legal issues behind each stage of the employment process -- from hiring and managing to firing -- with Walsh's EMPLOYMENT LAW FOR HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICE, 7E. Current examples and cases demonstrate how legal concepts apply to business, as new learning objectives, revised learning features and hands-on applications build skill in issue framing and legal reasoning. Students learn legal perimeters, how to avoid potential problems and when to turn to a lawyer. Updates address the latest employment law legislation, regulations and case law. New and expanded topics examine discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, employment status of "gig workers," the ABC test of employment status, student-athletes and graduate students, COVID-19, no-poaching and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), social media in recruitment, arbitration agreements, accommodating pregnant employees, pay equity, retaliation, DACA, artificial intelligence (AI), and unions.
