Every human resources professional knows the daunting task of staying up-to-date with the laws governing employer-employee relations. State and federal laws often impose different obligations on employers, and courts continually refine the way the laws must be implemented in the workplace.
For instance:
- What does the federal Family Medical Leave Act require that the Illinois Family Leave Act does not?
- When is a worker an independent contractor for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act versus Illinois’s wage and hour laws?
- If the cultivation and use of marijuana are illegal under federal law, how does an employer accommodate its use by employees who are disabled and properly registered under Illinois’s Medical Marijuana Act?
- There are a lot of legal minefields out there!
HR professionals negotiate those minefields by having the resources to recognize and prevent issues before they arise and by responding to problems when prevention is not possible. We hope this manual will be your first resource in recognizing, preventing, and solving problems in your workplace.
