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.
The A-Z Guide to Federal Employment Laws for the Small Business Owner by Shannon Johnson with Berit Everhart, 2011, 336 pages, Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc., $24.95 The legal environment for small businesses is like walking through a mine field. It would help to know where not to step to avoid problems and it would help to know what to do if the worst happens. Unfortunately for too many small business owners they are wandering through the mine field while wearing a blind fold. This excellent and accessible guide can be a small firm's best map to avoid trouble. In non technical language attorneys Shannon Johnson and Berit Everhart explain eighteen of the most important federal employment laws and give numerous practical examples of where employers can run into trouble even with the best of intentions. Avoiding a problem is always cheaper than dealing with a violation which means that this book could save a reader tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees as well as disruptions to their business. This book should be on the desk of every owner and personnel manager within easy reach for reference. And while the book is written for small business owners, employees will also find the book a useful guide to their rights under federal law. The book also includes a summary of state laws and agencies.
