Employment Regulation in the Workplace

Employment Regulation in the Workplace by Robinson, Robert K.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780765640802.

This textbook acquaints readers with the major federal statutes and regulations that control management and employment practices in the American workplace. The material is presented from the perspective that the human resource professional is the employers representative and is, therefore, responsible for protecting the employers interests and reducing the employers exposure to litigation through monitoring activities and viable employee policies. The book is designed as a tool for todays business and management professionals, and unlike some other texts in the field, maintains a pro-business or pro-management approach. The authors have skilfully crafted Employment Regulation in the Workplace to be an effective learning tool. Each chapter opens with learning objectives and an example scenario, and each chapter contains plenty of illustrative figures, boxes, and diagrams. Chapters conclude with a listing of key terms, questions for discussion, and two case exercises. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography.
