Available

Employment Law for Paralegals, 2nd Edition provides students with a practical knowledge of the common law and statutory legal aspects of employment, tailored to the paralegal scope of practice and the Law Society of Ontario’s education competencies.

This text offers an in-depth and up-to-date examination of the following areas: employment standards, labour relations, employment contracts, occupational health and safety, workplace safety and insurance, labour law, and human rights as they relate to the workplace.

It includes extensive legislative updates, new case law, and a sample employment contract. This edition also provides expanded content on labour relations and federal employment law. Detailed scenario questions supported by real-world case studies, “In the News” boxes, and sample forms contextualize content and encourage applied learning.

Written from the perspective of a paralegal defending the interest of an employee, this text will prepare paralegal students to navigate the complicated legal processes of employment law and effectively advocate for their clients.
