Summary

"This book explains, in plain English, the 21 most important federal employment laws that come up in the workplace. You can look up what each law allows and prohibits, which businesses must comply, and how to fulfill record-keeping, posting, and reporting requirements. This 8th edition covers numerous legal changes, such as a new salary threshold for exempt employees, new PWFA law requiring U.S. employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with limitations due to pregnancy or childbirth, higher fines and penalties for employers that fail to comply with IRCA, new federal laws protecting employees with sexual harassment or sexual assault claims, and more." --
