Testimonial:
The HR Survival Guide to Labor & Employment Law is a superb, usable summary of the major legal issues faced by HR practitioners and their organizational customers everyday. It is both a concise basic introduction to the major laws and regulations for individuals new to HR assignments and responsibilities, and a ready reference book for those of us with many years of HR experience who frequently need a "back to the basics" refresher when dealing with a particular problem. The book is not a dry, theoretical discussion, but brings quickly to mind many current issues. It will be of value to both rookies and veterans. I fully intend to build it into my training programs for new HR staff, and will use it as a primary learning tool in these programs. I found that reading the book was a valuable use of my time, even after thirty years in HR. Many of the issues that we confront every day are influenced by or related to the legal fundamentals in this book.
