This is the first book to read -- and the most concise reference to keep -- for answers about employers' obligations under the complex web of labor and employment laws.The authors summarize the key laws, rules, and regulations that affect on-the-job practices and benefits programs including:
-- The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
-- Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
-- plant closings and layoffs (WARN Act)
privacy and individual employee rights
-- legality of testing applicants and employees
-- union activity and collective bargaining issues, and much more
You get clear explanations, checklists, and examples -- plus a glossary of terms you need to know to succeed in the employment law and employee relations arena.
And since states' requirements can differ, the authors also give you a listing of state labor departments, human relations commissions, and NLRB field offices for your specific follow-up.
Use of this handbook can help protect any organization from legal blind spots -- and help protect individuals from personal liability.
