How to Comply with Federal Employee Laws: The Complete Guide for Employers Written in Plain English

Black Enterprise, July, 1996 by Carolyn M. Brown

Can an employee be forced to take a drug or alcohol test? What are your responsibilities to an employee with a disability? These are the type of questions answered in How to Comply With Federal Employee Laws by Sheldon I. London.

In an age where employee lawsuits are becoming commonplace, this book is a valuable resource. Besides, understanding employee rights will help employers create a positive work environment and build employee loyalty, as London notes.

While the book doesn't include specific state laws, the author does address some sensitive issues, including sex and age discrimination, AIDS in the workplace, pregnant worker's rights and OSHA requirements. A nice bonus is the model employee handbook that London provides, along with the pull-outs of all required workplace posters.
