The Employment Law Answer Book is now available on Kindle

One Amazon reviewer gave the Answer Book five stars out of vie and said, "this update is, as expected, as good as the original and well worth the money .... a must have for the HR generalist."

Another review has written:

Aspen just published Mark R. Filipp and James Ottavio Castagnera, Employment Law Answer Book (7th ed. 2010) and all I can say is Wow! For years, most labor and employment lawyers have purchased personal copies of The Developing Labor Law and Employment Discrimination Law by BNA. This is a third must have book.

Why? The answer is simple. It covers everything (well, just about everything) and that is what makes it so unique. The book is comprised of 15 Chapters and is written in Question and Answer format. It is full of helpful case cites, statute and regulatory cites. The book also has a wonderful index in the back. The book appears designed to provide lawyers and labor and employment professionals with a scholarly summary of the law with helpful cites. This can save a significant amount of research time.

This is not the book to use if your looking for the latest summary judgment decisions, but it the book to use if your looking to find a quick answer to a basic employment law question such as whether the FMLA requires paid leave or what the definition of a disability is under the ADA as amended.

The book also covers many topics which are usually not found in one book. For example, the FLSA, COBRA, HIPPA, the ADAA, At Will Employment and Exceptions, Negligent Hiring, Tax Issues, Personnel Files, Employment Discrimination, Employee Privacy, Surveillance, Safety, Copyright, Trade Secrets, Whistleblower statutes,Smoking in Workplace, AIDS, Ergonomics, ERISA, Workers Comp, Unemployment, Public Employment, Collective Bargaining, Labor Relations, Arbitration, Immigration, International Employment Law, ADR are all covered under one roof.

The book is available here from the publisher for $275.00 and its worth every penny.

Note, Jim Castagnera is a particularly good writer. We reviewed one of his prior books,Al-Qaeda Goes to College in Feb. 2009. If you have not seen that book, you can find a link and Adjunct Law Prof Blog's review here. If you check that book out, you will not be disappointed.
