In-depth discussions cover such important HR topics as outsourcing selected human resources activities, performance-based pay, workplace harassment and workplace violence.

The Guide also covers the role of research and auditing in carrying out the human resources management function – from job analysis to employment verification, compensation planning to benefit cost containment, pay structure management to collective bargaining, and safety and health to international human resources management.

Summaries of the most significant Supreme Court decisions keep professionals current with the final word on HR law.
