"Paralegal employment law courses provide students with a working knowledge of the legal aspects of employment. The text examines the following areas in particular: employment standards, occupational health and safety, workplace safety and insurance, employment contracts, labour law, and human rights as they relate to the workplace. It also touches on any relevant tribunals. Dense with information, the text contains many Case in Point boxes, sample forms and calculations, and scenario-style discussion questions to help students apply what they learn. Note that, while Filsinger's text is written from the perspective of the employer, this paralegal text is written from perspective of the employee--in particular, a paralegal defending the interests of an employee."--
