ABA Guide to Workplace Law

This order was received earlier than expected and has proved a useful reference guide.

Issues In The Workplace

The issues covered include the Family and Medical Leave Act, harassment and discrimination, drug testing, the Americans with Disabilities Act, unions, worker's compensation, dress codes and worker's rights. The publisher should look at issuing a new edition of this. The information is valuable, but readers need to have confidence that they are getting the latest, most up-to-date advice (- 1 star).

An excellent reference for federal employment laws.

This is an excellent book for general knowledge of the laws which apply to both the employer and the employee. It is well written, reads very easily and would be my choice as a general reference book concerning employment laws. It defines all relavent law terms and, most importantly, provides a guide or reference for additional information about each of the laws governing employment. It should be noted that the book covers federal Laws and not state laws.

An excellent overview of major areas of Employment Law

I found this book extremely helpful. As an executive recruiter (headhunter) it is essential that I have complete knowledge of many areas of employment law, particularly those that deal with hiring and firing. The law can be very complex, and this book explains the most important points relating to employment in a very clear, readable way. I refer to this guide almost daily as a handy reference, and recommend it to any private sector employer or employee.
