I've used several NOLO books and have found them to be consistently useful, informative and well researched. Generally, these NOLO resource books are helpful both to laypersons and lawyers.
The Employment Law: The Essential HR Desk Reference seems to target HR professionals more than lawyers. The Desk Reference isn't arranged according to topic but instead covers main concepts and terms in alphabetical order. The terms are covered carefully and with some of the most recent case law to give the reader/user a fuller understanding of each topic. But the HR Desk Reference should be used for a better understanding of the concepts and recent jurisprudence and should be relied upon hand in hand with specific advice from a lawyer.
I'm not a HR Professional and requested the book in order to get a better understanding of the concepts in employment law and HR - from an employee and small business owner's point of view. I found the book helpful for my purposes. Considering that Employment Law: The Essential HR Desk Reference is sold for $49.99, while it is useful, I feel that the other NOLO publications that I've read and used offer better value.

ReplyDeleteWhat does this mean for you? This is the second time that the NLRB has postponed the effective date of the poster requirement. Because the contents of the poster are very pro-union, employers should delay displaying this poster as long as possible, as the effective date may yet again be postponed. personal injury lawyer Edinburgh
ReplyDeleteTo be sure that your business steers clear of violations regarding an employments policy handbook is to have lawyer that can understand your business write one for you. If you do have an employment policy handbook that has been passed onto you, you should have a lawyer look through it before you give it to employees to ensure that there are no mistakes that could have you in trouble later. no win no fee solicitors Edinburgh
