Do you work in a position where you must hire, manage or supervise employees? If so, the Pennsylvania Employer's Guide from Blue Gavel Press can provide you with a solid foundation of knowledge regarding employment law and regulations. Developed by imminent legal authorities and compliance specialists, this guide is a vital tool for business owners, supervisors, managers, and human resources professionals.

The Pennsylvania Employer's Guide is organized into ten (10) chapters, providing an in-depth look at each of the most important aspects of the employment relationship: Hiring; Managing Employees and Personnel Costs; Termination of Employment; Health and Safety; Employment Discrimination; Wages, Hours, and Child Labor; Employee Benefits and Leave; Personnel Records; Workplace Privacy; and Unions and Government Contractors.

Important updates and improvements to this 21st Edition include:

• New regulations clarifying the term “disability” under the ADA Amendments Act

• New federal law requiring employers to provide specific benefits for nursing mothers

• Updated sections on the Pennsylvania Construction Workplace Misclassification Act, which imposes new penalties on construction industry employers who misclassify employees as independent contractors

• New cases involving employment discrimination under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act

• Updated sections on Pennsylvania law regarding trade secrets, wrongful discharge, overtime pay, and more

• New regulations implementing the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Hyperlinks at the end of each chapter will lead you to additional online information, including relevant citations and contact information for pertinent state and federal agencies. The Pennsylvania Employer's Guide is updated annually - a guarantee that this is, and will continue to be, one of the most current employment law books available anywhere.
