Description

The Multi-state Employment Law Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the rights, protections, and benefits that employees in New York, as well as other states, are entitled to under federal employment laws. In New York, specific employment laws mandate minimum wage, overtime pay, and protections regarding family and medical leave. Employers must adhere to distinctive state regulations that might provide additional protections beyond federal law. The Handbook serves as a valuable resource for legal professionals, such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, by detailing relevant statutes and protections while emphasizing the importance of staying informed about ongoing legal changes. It includes essential sections on discrimination, leaving and termination rights, workplace safety, and other employment-related protections. Users are instructed to approach the Handbook as a foundational guide and consult with attorneys for specific legal situations. The structure of the Handbook is designed to enhance understanding through clearly defined topics and actionable contact information for relevant agencies, thereby aiding the target audience in both legal practice and client advisement.
