This guide is a vital tool for business owners, supervisors, managers, and human resources professionals.
   
The Indiana Employer's Guide allows you to make informed decisions so that you can comply with state and federal laws and avoid civil and criminal penalties. It boils down state and federal laws to help you to understand your legal responsibilities.
   
Free of legal-speak, this easy-to-use guide offers clear explanations of today’s complex employment laws, regulations, and court decisions.

The Indiana Employer's Guide includes discussion of these and other topics:

· Updated sections on Indiana law regarding tax credits for hiring disadvantaged workers, workforce training programs, workers’ compensation benefits, employment discrimination, tax reporting requirements, child support withholding, and more.

· New section discussing the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which dramatically increases the legal responsibilities of employers with respect to employee health care.

· Federal immigration laws, including verification of Social Security numbers, verifying employment eligibility, sanctions for hiring undocumented workers, types of visas and the labor certification process for hiring foreign workers, special requirements for government contractors, and more.

· Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations covering personal protective equipment standards, and proposed changes to the Hazard Communication Standard, as well as OSHA’s new Severe Violator Enforcement Program, which penalizes employers for willful, repeated, or failure-to-abate violations.

· Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions regarding employee privacy and electronic communications, arbitration agreements, and more.

· New federal law requiring employers to provide break time and a quiet place for nursing mothers to express breast milk.
