Agency and Employment Law

Instructions:

Purpose of Assignment

Employment costs are arguably a business’s biggest expense.

Consider how employment law regulates concepts such as

discrimination, injuries on the job, employee vs. independent contractor,

wrongful discharge, and unionization, to name a few. As you research

for this assignment, consider the decisions made in this area are much

more than business decisions but, in fact, impact lives. How do we

reconcile between hurting employees and impacting the bottom-line?

This is much tougher than it appears.
