New laws affect every aspect of being an employer -- from interviewing and hiring, to handling employee benefits to firing.
The most complete guide to your legal rights and responsibilities, The Employer's Legal Handbook shows you how to comply with the most recent workplace laws and regulations, run a safe and fair workplace and avoid lawsuits. Learn everything you need to know about:
Hiring: Understand the legal guidelines for hiring employees, writing job descriptions, conducting interviews and investigating applicants.
Smart personnel practices: What to include in employee personnel files, employee handbooks, performance reviews and references for former employees.
Wages & hours: Comply with federal and state overtime and minimum wage requirements.
Employee benefits: Learn the ins and outs of wage and hour laws, retirement plans and health insurance.
Workplace health and safety: Comply with OSHA requirements, and implement policies on smoking, drugs and alcohol abuse.
Discrimination: Prevent sexual harassment and discrimination based on age, race, pregnancy, sexual orientation and national origin.
Termination and layoffs: Avoid wrongful termination cases, conduct a final meeting and protect your business information when employees leave.
Laws affecting small business practices: Everything you need to know about the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, health and safety issues, employee testing and more.
The 8th edition updates the book's easy-to-use legal charts to provide your state's current employment laws. It also covers the latest developments, such as the Supreme Court's new definition of "retaliation," and why the number of claims against employers are going up.

a useful tool October 28, 2007
Branchgraft
I have not yet read this book but have skimmed through the pages and can see it is a useful tool for keeping up with legal issues in the workplace. The book arrived in great condition and in a relatively short time frame.
Must have for every Department Manager June 11, 2008
Molly Hughes (Raleigh, NC)
Nola does an excellent job of reviewing Employment Laws in an easy to understand and concise manner. Human Resource departments could benefit by making sure every manager has this book and understands the content. They would save themselves a lot of time backtracking after the fact with when legal issues arise that could easily have been prevented.

 For the newbies in HR April 6, 2008

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is enjoyable and easy to understand, especially for those new in the HR field or those wanting to understand the HR function. The book covers topics with general information and not for those who are looking for in-depth decription of "how-to" or "what-to-do" in each of the HR functions. Overall, I think it is informative.
