New Employment Law Guide for HR Helps Reduce the Risk of Costly Litigation

Nashville, TN, Nov 04, 2009 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- To help Human Resources managers administer legally safe workplace policies and make informed recommendations to executive management, M. Lee Smith Publishers has released HR Guide to Employment Law: A Practical Compliance Reference (http://www.hrhero.com/HRGuide/).

The Guide's 14 chapters and over 650 pages address the most common and challenging legal issues faced by the HR profession: Americans with Disabilities Act Discipline and documentation Discrimination Family and Medical Leave Act Health benefits Hiring Immigration status Internal investigations Labor and organizing Overtime Privacy and electronic communication Sexual harassment Termination Workplace violence "There are a lot of specialized information sources out there, many of them online. But sometimes you just want to reach for a book and get an answer in seconds," says editor Holly Jones. "We are fortunate to be associated with the Employers Counsel Network, a national affiliation of law firms representing management. Network attorneys wrote this book based on the questions and problems they help employers overcome on a daily basis." The Guide assists those who don't have the luxury of consulting an employment law attorney whenever a policy question, workplace confrontation, or workforce strategy question arises. As such, it's appropriate for HR professionals, general counsel, in-house attorneys, CEOs, and other professionals who need access to the details of federal employment laws in an easy-to-understand format.

"Employment law violations are too expensive to ignore," says publisher Dan Oswald. "Employers trying to stop intermittent FMLA leave abuse, make an ADA reasonable accommodation decision or investigate an overtime pay violation complaint need to be careful to avoid missteps that make matters worse. This guide explains how to execute hundreds of tasks the right way." About M. Lee Smith Publishers LLC Brentwood, Tennessee-based M.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
