Purpose of Assignment
Employment costs are arguably a business's biggest expense. Consider how employment law regulates concepts such as discrimination, injuries on the job, employee vs. independent contractor, wrongful discharge, and unionization, to name a few.
As you research for this assignment, consider the decisions made in this area are much more than business decisions but, in fact, impact lives.
