About the course

Employment Law concerns the statutes and common law rules that regulate the workplace, including: discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, and disability, wages and hours, safety and health, workers? compensation, negligence and intentional torts, wrongful discharge, and contracts arising from handbooks and other company documents. Employment lawyers usually bring or defend suits before agencies and the courts, but some work in-house for corporations or the government. By contrast, Labor Law is limited to the relationship between employers and unions, currently, fewer than ten percent of private-sector employers are unionized.
