Ryan D: Redmond on Dismissal Law

Redmond on Dismissal Law

Most workers only discover what their employer was allowed to do after it has already been done to them. This book closes that gap - before the meeting, before the termination, before the deadline that ends your case. Wage theft is the largest theft category in the United States. Most victims never file a claim. Not because they lack a case - because nobody explained what a case looks like, how to build one, or how quickly the legal window closes while you are still deciding what to do. Wrongful termination happens to people who were told their firing was legal. Discrimination goes undocumented because workers do not know what documentation means in court. Retaliation continues because the people experiencing it do not recognize it by its legal name. Know Your Rights: Workplace and Employment Laws is a complete operational guide to every stage of the employment relationship - from your first paycheck to your last day and everything an employer can and cannot do in between. What this book covers: - The difference between employee and independent contractor status - and why misclassification is one of the most expensive mistakes workers never see coming - Minimum wage, overtime, wage theft, and equal pay - what the law requires and what employers routinely avoid paying - The employer tactics that cost workers their cases before any lawyer ever gets involved - What at-will employment actually means - and the specific exceptions that make termination wrongful - Wrongful termination, layoffs, the WARN Act, and your rights on the final day of employment - Workplace discrimination across every protected category: race, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, and religion - Sexual harassment, hostile work environments, and the retaliation that follows when workers report them - FMLA, medical leave, sick leave, PTO, and what employers are legally required to honor - OSHA and workplace safety - what you can report without losing your job - The deadlines chapter: the filing windows that permanently close your legal options if you miss them - Remote work rights, gig economy protections, and collective bargaining - Scripts, templates, documentation protocols, and a quick survival guide for when something goes wrong right now This book does not assume your employer is acting in good faith. It documents what the law actually requires - and gives you the evidence framework, complaint procedures, and negotiation tools to use that law before the window closes. Awareness without procedure is just frustration. This book gives you both. Part of the Know Your Rights - USA series, covering the legal frameworks, enforcement realities, and practical tools that shape American life at its most consequential pressure points. If something already went wrong, start at Chapter 21. If you want to understand the full architecture before anything happens, start at the beginning.

Termination, Salary, Discrimination, and Employee Protections

Know Your Rights - USA Workplace and Employment Laws

This book offers a critical and timely account of how labour law has become a means for protecting employers rather than workers.The past few decades have witnessed something of a 'silent revolution' in the traditional protective role that labour law has played in the lives of workers. While this transformation has been overt in the realm of the market and at the level of the legislature, the role of the judiciary in this process remains significantly under-studied. Focussing on Australia, but drawing also on material from New Zealand, the UK and Canada, this book investigates how the common law has intervened to shape labour law in the image of commercial contract, determining disputes and defining legal issues by ignoring the realities of working life. Under this new conception of labour law, industrial relations between workers and employers are rarely reciprocal or relational. Rather, they are determined by the legal meaning and purpose of the contract of employment, drafted by lawyers for the benefit of employers and their human resources departments. Having demonstrated how approaches to contractual formalist legal reasoning have redefined labour law, this book goes on to propose an array of innovative legal and policy strategies to restore the protective role of labour law to the employment relationship.Scholarly, but also accessible to students, this book will appeal to those with interests in labour law, contract law and sociolegal studies.

Contract, Labour Law and the Realities of Working Life

This book brings together leading scholars from private law and employment law to reflect upon private law doctrines as they relate to the employment contract. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, these contributions explore the regulatory functions of private law doctrines at the cutting edge of modern employment law. Topics include the potential and limitations of private law damages; the role of injunctions and specific performance; the interactions between express and implied terms; vicarious liability; substantial performance and breach; and the common law right to work. The integration of scholarly perspectives from the realms of private law and employment law enriches and deepens our understanding of core private law doctrines. Historically, employment law was defined in terms of its autonomy from general private law. This achievement of autonomy was highly prized, and considered necessary to facilitate industrial freedoms for trade unions and the protection of employees from exploitation. But the contractual basis of employment means that any such autonomy has always been partial and unstable. Furthermore, as trade unions have declined and governments have deregulated statutory employment rights, private law has assumed growing practical importance in strategic appellate litigation. In many common law jurisdictions, private law doctrines have become the new battleground between employers, workers and trade unions. The essays in this book examine specific doctrinal issues against this dynamic backdrop of changing social, economic and constitutional conditions. While focused mainly on English law, the essays also consider examples from other jurisdictions including Australia and Scotland. As private law becomes the default regulation for most employment contracts in 21st-century labour markets across the world, this book is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, academics and students.

Private Law and the Employment Contract

Criminal Law - Sentencing, Procedure and Key Offences

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Employment Relation

California Employment law 2026 is the only book employers need to stay fully compliant with the latest legal changes in the state. 
It is often said that it is difficult for an employer to fully comply with all of California's employment laws. They are just too numerous, too complicated and changing too often. There are so many traps for the unwary and a simple mistake can lead to a seven-figure jury verdict or a class action lawsuit. California Employment Law 2026 is the official SHRM guide and so is the go-to resource for anyone who must contend with employment law in California as part of their day-to-day work, both those based in-state and those employers based outside of California who have employees working in the state.
This valuable reference is updated to address new developments, including:
- Restrictions on the use of AI-based systems in hiring
- Prohibition on most "stay or pay" agreements
- California's "Workplace Know Your Rights Act" requirements
- The legal definition of a "hostile working environment"
- Requirements for accommodating a pregnant employee
- Limitation on the scope of arbitration agreements
- New minimum wage and overtime exemption salary thresholds

The SHRM Guide for Employers

California Employment Law 2026

An evocative social history of Europe's peatlands, moors, bogs and heaths.

Stories from the Peatlands

The Dark Stuff

This book gives extraordinary new insights into the legal, political and industrial strife in the UK of the early 1970s, focusing on the National Industrial Relations Court and how its independence came to be injured at a time of national crisis. Constitutional and employment lawyers, and indeed anyone interested in the history of the times, will not want to be without this deeply researched yet entertaining work. When the Heath Government came to power in 1970, it set up the National Industrial Relations Court to referee highly contentious disputes between unions and employers. Regarded with hostility by the labour movement from the start, the Court and its President, Sir John Donaldson, faced mounting suspicion, and were regularly front-page news. When Donaldson jailed five dockers in 1972 - the Pentonville Five - for defying the Court's orders, strikes erupted and the docks closed. With the country's food supplies dwindling, a state of emergency loomed. How had it come to this? Could a way through be found? This is a revelatory account of the National Industrial Relations Court's defining crisis, set in the context of a wider, and frequently startling, exposition of how Donaldson went about his role as its President. Peter Oldham KC combines decades of experience as a barrister with archival research to shine a bright new light on how and why the Court found itself doing - in Donaldson's own words - 'rather peculiar things'.

Law and Politics at the National Industrial Relations Court 1970-75

A Complete Guide to Employee Rights and Employer Responsibilities

Your Rights at Work

This open access book brings together leading European labour law scholars to explore how workers' representatives' rights are evolving in the context of the digital transformation of work. Rooted in EU and national legal frameworks, the book examines how information and consultation (I&amp;C) rights must adapt to the challenges posed by platform work, algorithmic management, cross-border telework, and digitalisation more broadly. Structured around 4 key themes-Who is entitled to I&amp;C rights; Where these rights apply in transnational and virtual workplaces; How they are exercised in the context of AI, occupational safety, and industrial democracy; and What new rights are emerging in response to digital risks-the book offers a comprehensive and comparative analysis of labour law in the digital age. It pays particular attention to the role of workers' representatives in shaping and implementing emerging rights such as the right to disconnect. Drawing on the findings of the DIGILARE research project (EU grant 101126503), the volume provides actionable legal and policy insights for EU institutions, national lawmakers, social partners, and practitioners. It proposes reforms to strengthen democratic participation, enhance transparency in algorithmic decision-making, and safeguard workers' autonomy in increasingly fragmented and remote work environments. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Information and Consultation Rights in the Digital Workplace

'DELIVERS NEW PLEASURES ON EVERY PAGE' ANNE ENRIGHT 'STYLISH, SHARP AND FIERCELY INTELLIGENT' LUCY CALDWELL 'A GLOWING, MOVING, DARING BOOK' SEÁN HEWITT It begins on an orange afternoon, cool but ruminant, close to Halloween. Sunny, only four years old, looks up from the tub of toys in the living room and asks, 'Mama, do you remember when I died?' Over the strange, strained year that follows, Sunny will refer repeatedly to her previous lives - and how they ended. Her parents Lena and Odhran, who tumbled into family life after an accidental pregnancy and a hasty registry office wedding, are left desperate for answers. Is their child suffering from disassociation, a psychological disorder or something more? Has she absorbed their own haunted histories - Lena's experience as an indie musician in the era of sleaze, or the shady legacy of madness in Odhran's family? Can we ever really protect our children? What if we can't? From the multi-award-winning author of This Happy and We Were Young, comes a shimmering, propulsive novel about maternal concern, childhood imagination, past lives and present loves.
