United States Employer's Guide

Aimed at small-business owners, managers, supervisors and human resource administrators in the private sector, this guide provides an overview of employment law, integrating the state and federal laws most relevant to employers. Greenspan, an attorney and managing editor for Aspen Publishers, focuses on federal law but indicates where state laws also apply. The text includes charts summarizing state law and appendices listing state and federal agencies that employers may contact for further information. The guide is written in small, self-contained sections contained in a three-ring binder to facilitate inclusion of updates. This 13th edition contains new sections on managing personnel records, emergency preparedness, OSHA training requirements, and global outsourcing. The state law charts and agency lists have been updated and discussions about Internet applicants and employee Internet use have been expanded.
