Do you work in a position where you must hire, manage or supervise employees? If so, the Tennessee 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. Free of "legalese" and confusing terminology, the Tennessee Employer's Guide offers a straightforward explanation of the areas of employment law that most directly affect employers.
  
The Tennessee 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 20th Edition include:
       

• The Tennessee Lawful Employment Act, which requires employers to verify the work authorization status of employees and other workers

• Updated sections on Tennessee law regarding workers’ compensation, employment contracts, whistle-blowers, handgun regulations, military leave, age deductions, union contracts and dues, prevailing wages, and more

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

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

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

• Changes in unemployment taxes and income taxes, including computation and reporting requirements

• New laws affecting employee retirement plans, new rollover provisions for 401(k) plans, and proposed regulations concerning the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

• Proposed amendments to the National Labor Relations Act, which could change the way unions are recognized
  

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 Tennessee 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.
