The "hottest" field of law today is employment law. Newspapers report huge awards for sexual discrimination, harassment, wrongful discharge and other labor related claims. Every employee believes he or she is entitled to money awards for certain perceived violations of the employment relationship. In contrast, employers believe they cannot survive if subjected to numerous and substantial employee claims.
In reality, all potential claims are governed by numerous federal and state employment discrimination statutes, and other related statutes, which are, in turn, interpreted by case law. In this developing field, a careful analysis is required in each situation to determine the effect of these statutes and cases on the particular situation facing the employee or employer.
Here are just some of the laws and common law claims (claims based on case law rather than statutes) impacting the employment relationship today.
