Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to develop students’ ability to effectively manage employees as managers/supervisors and/or business owners.Specifically, students will be able to understand and create policies, practices, and procedures designed to minimize the risk of liability arising from the employment relationship.Additionally, students will be able to develop strategies that could avoid litigation regarding adverse employment decisions. This course is an analysis of the procedures involved in the human resource function in light of legal and socio-demographic environments. Why and how employees are recruited and retained, and current issues and trends, will be evaluated. (Throughout the course, these policies, practices, procedures, and strategies are collectively referred to as “best practices.”) Students will develop as managers who uphold not only the letter but the spirit of employment law in their individual decision-making and organizational practices. In order to achieve these objectives, students will: ·experience practical applications needed by both managers and employees in the workplace ·analyze hypothetical and actual workplace situations ·review relevant statutes, judicial decisions, and administrative regulations that shape the rights and responsibilities in the workplace ·consider the law’s role as an agent of and respondent to social and demographic forces affecting the workplace ·examine the ethical dimensions of the employment relationship and dilemmas faced by employees and supervisors in today’s workplace.

Rules of the Road
1
All material covered in class, including Websites and handouts, are fair game for testing.
2
Discuss any unusual problems (other than a medical emergency) IN ADVANCE with the professor.
3
If you miss class, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed. You are urged to network with fellow students for updates.
4
Tests are reviewed during the same class period as the test.You must be present and participate in order to obtain additional consideration.
5

7
Arrive on time (arriving late gets to me a little) and remain throughout the class.That way, class can start on time and continue without disruption. Students who disrupt the class, other than in a rare emergency, will be penalized.
Cell phones are a distraction in class to you, fellow students, and me. Cell phone use, including texting, means dismissal from that class AND the next class.
Computer users will have an assigned section of the classroom.

Academic Honesty: Please practice this! Any cheating or plagiarism will result in severe penalties in accordance with University policy (see the University Catalog for a complete discussion). Lets all take the TEAM approach to Ethics:Teach, Enforce, Advocate, and Model.

NEED A BOOK 2012 California Labor Law Digest The 2011 or 2010 book will only be a few pages off.... this will require a little extra work on your part!
Obviously, your first choice and most convenient is the campus bookstore. Price for the 2012 edition is approximately $150 plus tax. The bookstore also has used books for sale at reduced prices.
Chamber of Commerce offices in many cities have books for sale: $100 - 160. If you work for someone who is a Chamber member, you could purchase a book through the business.
Where you work: Some students have had their employers buy the book and allow the student to use it during the semester. The employer then keeps the book as a valuable resource. (Some students sell their books to their employers at the end of the semester.)
Another choice is to call Customer Service at the Chamber of Commerce in Sacramento: 1-800-331-8877. Identify yourself as a CSUN student and have your credit card info availabe. The 2012 book will be (approx.) $97+tax+shipping which comes out to approx. $110. The retail price of the book has risen $10 to $159. The Chamber is discounting it by 40% for our students.)
