You're the employer. You're in charge.
And as long as you treat your employees fairly, you have plenty of legal leeway in what you can do.
This convenient desk reference is all about knowing the rules so you needn't be intimidated when dealing with hiring and firing, promotions, and payroll.

Who is this book for?
Employment law isn’t just for lawyers. Human resources has to navigate all kinds of issues like employment discrimination claims, collective bargaining, ADA accommodations, FMLA, and more. This essential guide covers the federal employment laws you need to know as an HR professional, how to navigate complicated employment relationships, and more employment issues that impact your day-to-day work.
You may be a professional when it comes to labor and employment law, but keeping up with constantly changing cases, policies, and regulations can be challenging. Whether it’s determining how recent Supreme Court cases impact discrimination law, how changing labor practices and NLRB regulations might affect employment contracts, or one of the many things in between, the Employer’s Practical Legal Guide has you covered.
Just because you’re not in HR doesn’t mean labor and employment laws don’t impact you. Whether you’re a manager out on the floor overseeing workplace safety and occupational safety regulations like OSHA, or you need to navigate tricky FMLA and ADA requests, employment laws impact your work every day.
Making the job even harder, ignorance is not defensible in court. Run afoul of some of these state laws and federal regulations, even by accident, and you could find yourself in hot water.
