Product Description
Bennett-Alexander and Hartman's Employment Law for Business, 6/e addresses law and employment decisions from a managerial perspective. It is intended to instruct students on how to manage effectively and efficiently with full comprehension of the legal ramifications of their decisions. Students are shown how to analyze employment law facts using concrete examples of management-related legal dilemmas that do not present clear-cut solutions. The methods of arriving at resolutions are emphasized, so that when the facts of the workplace problem are not quite the same, the student can still reach a good decision based on the legal considerations required by law, which remain relevant..

Smooth for the most part January 6, 2009
J. Caplan
The purchase experience was pretty smooth and the book was obtained at a reasonable price. The only issue I had was that the seller never responded to any of my e-mails. I did desire next day delivery but got no where with it. Other than that, it went fine.

A number of reviews of this book are unfairly critical. Reviewers who criticize it on the basis of being too "liberal" or "anti-management" seem to be missing an obvious point. Regulating the employment environment is an inherently liberal idea, designed to protect "common" workers at the expense of the organization and its representatives. Whether you like this system or not is irrelevant; this is the way that employment law in the US currently exists, and the book describes it accurately without any more "bias" than any other book on the topic.
As for the flow and writing, the authors do throw a lot of terminology at the reader in the first few chapters, but this is unavoidable when trying to translate an advanced legal topic for an audience without any legal training. Despite this challenge, the writing and explanations are very clear, and many difficult concepts are illustrated with EXCELLENT case studies and snippets from opinions. I find that students sometimes have trouble with the layout of the book because it is not organized by laws and statutes, but rather by legal concepts and case types that sometimes cut across multiple laws and statutes. Consequently, issues discussed several chapters back do "pop up" again seemingly out of the blue. However, this structure is actually a major strength as the reader can easily find everything about a topic (e.g., gender discrimination) in one place without having to hunt statute-by-statute through the book to find the applicable content.
In short, a great introduction for someone new to employment law, and definitely the book to use if teaching a course on this topic.
