• What policies should be included in an employee handbook?

• When are employees entitled to call-in pay? 

• Are undocumented workers entitled to job protection?

• May an employee be disciplined for social media activity?

• What qualifies as a trade secret or confidential information?

• Under what circumstances will an otherwise eligible claimant be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits?

Topics addressed include hiring and interviewing employees, employee and employer rights and obligations, the worker’s compensation framework and regulatory schemes for maintaining a safe workplace, disability issues, unemployment insurance, unfair competition, discrimination in the workplace, and disciplinary policies and procedures. This book is a great resource for any attorney, human resource professional, or layperson who needs quick, incisive answers to the most pressing employment-related questions.
