Understanding federal employment laws today is crucial for the American small-business owner. Not understanding them could mean a costly lawsuit at least. While it may be impossible to completely understand some of the laws the federal government has been coming up with lately, this book will at least give you a functional understanding. It gives you a barebones history of the important pieces of Federal employment legislation--such as OSHA and COBRA--but where this book really shines is in the functional knowledge category. If you read carefully, you'll be able to consider the legal perspective when hiring, firing, and working in general. It's a bit dry but well worth it, as it very well might save you from having to hire an attorney down the line.
