Employment Law for Staffing Professionals
Employment Law for Staffing Professionals serves as an invaluable stand-alone desk reference that provides detailed practical guidance for staffing firms seeking to comply with employment laws, and emphasizes preventive measures and techniques aimed at reducing the risk of legal liability for employment law violations.
This 11th edition—published by ASA in 2007—remains an unequaled resource because it comprehensively assesses and discusses how myriad employment laws and rules affect the staffing industry specifically. The 11th edition was reviewed and updated by Seyfarth Shaw LLP, one of the nation's leading labor and employment law firms.
The most recent printing includes information of particular interest to employers of technical, IT, and scientific professionals: When and why to classify workers as independent contractors rather than as employees, how to follow per diem regulations, and what to consider in employing H-1B temporary professional workers.
Employment Law also serves as a required textbook for the ASA Certified Staffing Professional™ and Technical Services Certified™ programs.
