Employment Law: The Essential HR Desk Reference is the latest in Nolo's new series of desk reference guides, providing comprehensive coverage of business and legal subjects. In A-Z format, Employment Law presents over 200 entries that define and explain employment and labor law topics, such as bona fide seniority system, disparate treatment, ergonomics, FMLA and gender identity. Subjects such as affirmative action, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), downsizing, and wrongful discharge receive longer (700+ words) treatment, while smaller topics have shorter entries. In usual Nolo fashion, Employment Law combines legal and practical information and delivers it in a way that the lay person can use in the real world. Real-life case references (and the intriguing stories behind them), statistics, trends and pop culture references supplement and enliven each entry's summary of the law. Upcoming titles in the new desk reference series will cover criminal law, small business and estate planning.
