Employment Law for Business and HR Professionals: Alberta and British Columbia, 4th Edition
Instructor Review Copy

Employment Law for Business and HR Professionals: Alberta and British Columbia, 4th Edition

Kelly Williams-Whitt, Adam Letourneau, TJ Schmaltz, Ryan Anderson, Kathryn J. Filsinger
Available

Employers in Canada are often unaware of the potential liabilities associated with their employment relationships, so it is crucial for business professionals and human resources personnel to identify, manage, and mitigate these liabilities.

Employment Law for Business and Human Resources Professionals: Alberta and British Columbia, 4th Edition provides foundational principles and practical explanations of the key legal issues that arise between employers and employees. Through an extensive review of provincial labour regimes and employment-related statutes, this textbook examines the importance of employment contracts, outlines how to minimize legal risks and liabilities, and indicates when to seek expert legal advice.

This edition explores recent developments in employment law in British Columbia and Alberta using updated insights and case law, as well as examples and exercises that contribute to experiential learning.
