New Book: Principles of Employment Law

Congratulations to Peggy Smith, Ann Hodges, Susan Stabile, & Rafael Gely on the publication of their new book Principles of Employment Law (West Concise Hornbook Series, 2009).  Here's the publisher's description:

This book provides a comprehensive overview of employment law and is a useful supplement to any employment law casebook. The book is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 examines who is an employee and who is an employer. Chapter 2 analyzes the employment-at-will doctrine and job security claims. Chapter 3 focuses on privacy, autonomy and dignity. Chapter 4 analyzes claims that employers may have against employees. Chapter 5 discusses employment terms and benefits that are directly mandated by law, like minimum wage, or strongly encouraged or regulated by law, such as pensions. Finally, Chapter 6 examines workplace health and safety.

Hat tip: Paul Secunda.
