Editorial Reviews

Review
"The employee life cycle approach to this text offers students the ability to understand the employment process, from beginning to end, while considering the legal environment and its implications for business success. Walsh's personnel law book provides a solid foundation for students to successfully navigate the always changing and rarely certain areas of personnel law within an organization."

"Of all of the texts that I reviewed, this one has the most practical and usable advise for soon-be-HR practioners. The life cycle approach is strong and the writing easy to read."

"My students love the book and HR majors hold on to it as a reference."

"I use the chapter questions a great deal for class discussions. I love using them by section to spice up conversation and see if the students can apply what they’ve learned. I think these are one of the single most valuable elements of your book!"

"I recently graduated from Central Ohio Technical College as a Business/HR major. One of my classes…used your textbook called "Employment Law for Human Resources Practice" I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the textbook and found it very informative and humorous in some cases. Thank you for writing such a good HR reference textbook." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Text for HR Law, February 15, 2009
This is wonderful text providing a comprehensive overview of almost all areas of employment law as they relate to human resources. As an employment lawyer and HR professional, I particularly like the comprehensive suggestions and practical advice (best practices) contained in each chapter. The cases, which are the most relevant seminal cases, explain the material and balance the material nicely. The book will definitely be a keeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Thorough Book, September 12, 2006
I had purchased this book for a masters level class I was in. It is incredibly comprehensive and will be your one-stop source for employment law as it relates to Human Resource practices.

There are lots of case studies and discussion questions should you feel the text doens't challenge you enough.

The only drawback is that the text is two-tone; it could have done with being a tad more colorful. Having said that, that's all that kept it from being five stars.
