The 12 Days of Employment-Law Christmas


This time last year, I published a song, “The 12 Days of Employment Law Christmas.” In the last year, though, I’ve gained a lot of new readers. So, since Christmas is almost upon us, I’m sharing it again (with updated links). If you’re feeling brave, post a video of yourself singing along.

Have a great end to your 2013. I’ll see everyone with fresh content on January 2.
