    Nov. 16, 2016 – Confused about right-to-work legislation or workers’ compensation? Get the most recent developments in statutory and case law with Wisconsin Employment Law, from State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE®, now in its sixth edition.

    This three-volume treatise, first published in 1994, is the culmination of the combined efforts of more than 25 attorney-authors from Wisconsin law firms, and more than 50 employment law experts who reviewed the original book.

    The Most Recent Developments

    This latest edition reflects the most recent developments in statutory and case law, including the emerging issues in the realms of right-to-work legislation and workers' compensation. The sixth edition also includes an entirely new chapter focused on employment issues specifically relating to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees.

    Wisconsin Employment Law not only focuses on Wisconsin law, but it also discusses federal employment law, providing guidance both on federal preemption, and on choosing the appropriate forum. As with all PINNACLE products, Wisconsin Employment Law takes an objective, neutral, and balanced approach, exploring both employer and employee perspectives, addressing employee claims as well as employer defenses.

    Wisconsin Employment Law is organized by topic so that readers can quickly find a complete discussion of nearly any employment problem and the applicable law.

    The book opens with an overview of major state and federal employment laws. Major topics covered include hiring and firing, wages and hours, employee benefits, occupational safety and health, workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance. Intensely litigated areas of employment law, such as wrongful discharge, discrimination, and noncompetition agreements, are discussed in detail.

    The In-depth Source on Discrimination, Hiring, and Termination

    Because of the special need for focused, in-depth resources on hiring and termination, PINNACLE has spun off two chapters, those dealing with employment discrimination and with hiring and firing, into individual books. Indexed to stand alone, these publications are compact enough to fit into a briefcase, ensuring that the right knowledge is at hand whenever and wherever it’s needed.

    Rose Ann Wasserman’s A Guide to Wisconsin Employment Discrimination Law has long been a mainstay in this demanding area of practice, helping sort through the alphabet soup of state and federal agencies and legislation, and clarifying procedures and burdens of proof at each stage. Hiring and Firing in Wisconsin, by veteran Wisconsin attorneys Robert K. Sholl, Bradden C. Backer, and Peter L. Albrecht, deals with every aspect of finding, keeping, and discharging employees, from initial interviews through termination, from recruiting to references, from drug testing to due process.
