A guide to employment law. One of the most rapidly evolving areas of law involves individual employment rights. Individual employment rights has no clearly defined boundary. It encompasses a multitude of employment statutes and court decisions. It finds its support in constitutional law and has developed as part of specialized employment law areas involving record keeping and disclosure, labor relations, health and safety, labor standards, fair employment practices. This book consolidates these fragmented individual employment rights into a centralized reference source.
