Basic info from several other Nolo books made into a guide.

The information in this guide has been gleaned from several other Nolo books. So if you are looking for just basic information on this specific subject of Everyday Employment Law, then you could avoid buying all the other books and get this one instead. It is important to note that this is really a BASIC book as indicated in the title also. There are 13 short chapters starting from the topic of hiring employees, wage and hour law, discrimination, etc. to privacy, union, and health & safety issues.The topic of Handling Workplace Problems (Chapter 11) is better handled in another Nolo guide - Dealing With Problem Employees by Amy DelPo & Lisa Guerin. The topic of Firing and Layoffs (Chapter 12) is better handled in the Nolo guide - Firing Without Fear by Barbara Kate Repa. The topic of Wage and Hour Law (Chapter 2) and the topic of Health & Safety are better handled in the Nolo guide - Federal Employment Laws by Amy DelPo & Lisa Guerin. I haven't read all the Nolo guides so I can't place where the rest of the topics are better addressed but that's why I bought this book on the basics. I plan on buying the other detailed books at a later stage. For now, I will read the basics in this book.The price is low enough that I felt it was worthwhile buying this book that has repeat topics from several other Nolo guides. Good luck!
