5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for those interested in HR law, May 14, 2009
By Sandra B. G. (California) - See all my reviews
I have not read this book in full (not yet at least). I read about half of it and it is very easy to read. It has pointers and examples throughout the book and is small enough to fit in a purse and is lightweight. (Not like a huge text-book).

It could be read in less than a month since it is easy to read. If you are looking for a great book on HR law/employment law that is up to date, purchase this book. This book also goes into workmans comp, disabilities and the ADA. Everything is in this book. I love it.

The best part of this book (so far that I have read) is the Title VII issues and the current issues in gay and lesbians in the workplace/health benefits. It is just a great book.
