As an HR practitioner, I am primarily responsible for the staffing function in my organization. This book is an excellent resources for questions that might come up in the course of the employment cycle (recruiting, hiring, leaves, and terminations). The ABA Guide also provides references to other publications for additional information as well as links to online resources for more current information. This book is definately worth the investment and highly recommended for small and large companies alike.

This is a good reference for a workplace law beginner. The author don't use any legal jargon on this book and it is really easy to read, well-organized and well-explained step by step.

The content is generally covered the Federal law. If you would like to have more knowledge on your own state law, you may need an additional reference on this.

Overall, it is a good start for all beginners.

I have not read this book in full (not yet at least). I read about half of it and it is very easy to read. It has pointers and examples throughout the book and is small enough to fit in a purse and is lightweight. (Not like a huge text-book).

It could be read in less than a month since it is easy to read. If you are looking for a great book on HR law/employment law that is up to date, purchase this book. This book also goes into workmans comp, disabilities and the ADA. Everything is in this book. I love it.

The best part of this book (so far that I have read) is the Title VII issues and the current issues in gay and lesbians in the workplace/health benefits. It is just a great book.

I started doing some contract work as a recruiter and I needed a well written legal guide to employment law and this is it. A great reference and well as book you can read thru to give yourself a primer on employment law. A must for the small business owner who has employees

Its a good book if you just want to familiarize yourself with some of the basics of employment law. Easy to read and understand. I recommend it for anyone who has recently decided to pursue a career in HR

This book is a must read for employers who are looking to stay clear of employment law problems. I highly recommend this book for anyone who does hiring such as top company managers and HR staff.

I am not a law student, but I found this book easy to read and understand. It gives a great overview of employment law and provides references for deeper information.

I have found this book to be very helpful,bacause i am takeing a course in employment law.
