This is an awesome book! It is so easy to read and understand. It is written so that anybody can understand it; it's not full of hard to understand legalese.

Part of my job is advising others on complex FMLA and ADA situations. I have a solid knowledge of the FMLA and still find myself referring to this book often (as recently as today). It is much more in-depth than the law itself with an abundance of citations. It goes a long way toward clarifying confusing parts of the FMLA and DOL regulations and noting where courts have made contradictory decisions. A bonus is that it comes with a CD that allows the book to be downloaded into a PC where searches can be conducted. The referenced court decisions are also available for downloading. It will keep its space on my bookshelf, without gathering dust.

The FMLA: Understanding The Family And Medical Leave Act by attorney Will Aitchison is a compendium of articulate criticisms of the flaws in the complicated and questionably drafted Family And Medical Leave Act, as well as a detailed dissection and explanation of the act's purpose, applications, and meaning accessibly presented for both governmental policy mavens, corporate executives, and non-specialist general readers alike. Intended for employers and employees alike, The FMLA deftly describes legal terms of varying complexity in straightforward layman's prose, and gives a nod to common sense in helping readers understand the scope and ramifications of this important law. The FMLA is an invaluable resource which should be considered a core contribution to the reference collections of the legal, medical, governmental, and community advocacy organizations and groups.

I was in need of straight forward information that I just was not able to find from google.com. I purchased this book, even though it was a bit more money than I wanted to spend, and would honestly say it was a smart buy. This book is easy to read and has LOTS of information in general and detailed format. What I love most about this book is that the author placed the information into simple and uncomplicated terms but also backed it up with detailed references.
