Employment Law Handbook Authored by Team of Baker & Daniels Attorneys

Hoosier employers need to have the most up-to-date information on state and federal employment laws to enable them to stay compliant and prevent costly lawsuits, the Terre Haute Tribune-Star reported in its story, "Updated Employment Law Handbook Available."

To assist business leaders in that endeavor, the Indiana Chamber offers its most popular publication: the seventh edition of the Employment Law Handbook, now available for purchase. The straightforward reference guide, written by a team of attorneys from Baker & Daniels LLP, spells out existing state and federal employment laws, plus comes complete with information on new state laws and updates, the story reported.

"Employers want to engage in best practices because it suggests to their employees that they respect the law and respect their employees' rights. They want to use a book like this as a guide to make sure they're doing what they should be doing," said John Neighbours, a partner at Baker & Daniels. "It covers the entire landscape of employment law, expressed in layperson's terms."

In the seventh edition, employers can find information on new state laws concerning the possession of firearms, federal and state laws concerning lactation support for mothers in the workplace, the federal Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, the Military Family Leave Act, Family Medical Leave Act and more, according to the story.
