The landscape of labor and employment law is ever-changing. Amendments to federal employment statutes, new or revised regulations, important decisions from the courts and the agencies and changes to Maryland laws are only a few of the developments that have lately forced Maryland employers to re-evaluate their policies and more are sure to come. In light of these constant changes, a practical and comprehensive legal reference is essential for every employer and human resources professional.
This manual is intended to serve as such a reference. It affords an overview of many labor and employment laws that impact the Maryland employer’s workplace. Of course, no text can precisely contemplate all of the legal consequences that should be considered by a particular employer and these pages are no substitute for consulting your legal counsel in evaluating the effect of the law upon a particular issue. We hope, however, that this reference will be your first step in considering most any legal issue important in the employment arena.
