Customer Rating: 

I have not read this book in full (not yet at least). I read about half of it and it is very easy to read. It has pointers and examples throughout the book and is small enough to fit in a purse and is lightweight. (Not like a huge text-book).

It could be read in less than a month since it is easy to read. If you are looking for a great book on HR law/employment law that is up to date, purchase this book. This book also goes into workmans comp, disabilities and the ADA. Everything is in this book. I love it.

The best part of this book (so far that I have read) is the Title VII issues and the current issues in gay and lesbians in the workplace/health benefits. It is just a great book.

Customer Rating: 

As an HR practitioner, I am primarily responsible for the staffing function in my organization. This book is an excellent resources for questions that might come up in the course of the employment cycle (recruiting, hiring, leaves, and terminations). The ABA Guide also provides references to other publications for additional information as well as links to online resources for more current information. This book is definately worth the investment and highly recommended for small and large companies alike.
