Author comment: "Navigating an employer's obligations under federal employments laws can be confusing and overwhelming. The FMLA, ADA, FLSA, NLRA - it can be difficult just to keep the acronyms straight! This book will help managers, HR professionals, business owners, and others understand how the most important national employment laws work. It breaks down 20 key laws, chapter by chapter, and points out differences in state laws with 50-state charts."
