Book by Fisher Phillips Partner Proves Popular

A book written by Fisher Phillips partner James J. McDonald, Jr. was the second highest selling book in 2017 published by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM). Jim wrote California Employment Law: An Employer’s Guide, a comprehensive review of the myriad employment laws that management must stay abreast of in California. An updated and revised version is scheduled for publication in February 2018.

The SHRM website notes: “It is often said that it's impossible for an employer to fully comply with all of California's employment laws. They're just too numerous and too complicated with too many traps for the unwary. Written for HR professionals, business managers and anyone who must contend with employment law in California, the Guide is an essential resource for avoiding those traps.”

Jim is a prolific writer covering a wide array of workplace legal issues in newspapers, magazines, online media, and books. He is also the editor of both editions of the treatise, Mental and Emotional Injuries in Employment Litigation, published by BNA Books, which covers mental health issues as they relate to employment.
