About this publication
Social Media and Employment Law thoroughly analyses the intersection between social media and workplace law.
The rapid growth of social media has led to the development of legal issues that have not arisen in the workplace before. Judges, CCMA commissioners, human resource practitioners and lawyers now have to grapple with novel concepts and conundrums.
Social Media and Employment Law provides real-life examples, useful templates and guidelines on social media in the workplace for HR practitioners. For employers and trade unionists, there are also clear guidelines and examples. For CCMA commissioners and bargaining council panellists, there is a wealth of case law, gathered from various jurisdictions and discussed simply and clearly, to guide them through this new territory.
‘This is a timeous and welcome contribution to a largely unexplored area of employment law. I urge everyone in the field – and that includes all employees – to read it.’
Anton Steenkamp, Judge of the Labour Court of South Africa
