FMLA, ADA, and Workers’ Compensation Transitional “Return to Work” Program (also called "Light Duty" and "Transitional Work" Programs)
Manage the FMLA, ADA and Workers’ Compensation MUCH more effectively with a comprehensive policy that allows employees to return to work on a “transitional” or “light duty” basis. Such policies can give preference to those employees on leave due to workplace injuries and can be used to deny employees’ who qualify under the program paid time off if they refuse their light duty assignments, thus reducing the risk of employee fraud and abuse.

The HR Professional’s Complete Guide to Federal Employment & Labor Law ($100.00)
In 1994, I started writing this book. I wanted a reference book for HR people, including myself, that I could quickly grab and find answers to my issues in English and not “Legal-Eze.”
I also wanted a comprehensive source for anyone wanting to learn Employment and Labor Law. If the HR profession was a person, the feet would be the law:
If you do, you are likely to get a foot blown off...and fired.
This book, which right now is over 1,500 pages long, is designed to educate HR people so they can feel comfortable in their Employment and Labor Law knowledge.
This book is in a pdf format. That will make it much easier to search a certain topic within each chapter.
It will also make it much easier to update and keep current for your on-going use.
You can download the whole book or just access the website whenever you want. You will get notices when anything has changed.
The cost is $100 for a one year subscription. It is then $50 a year to renew and stay on top of what is changing.
