Great Employment Law Resources

I wanted to share two resources with you regarding employment law issues. You can never be sure when you might need assistance in this area. I want to recommend two sites.

The first is George's Employment Blawg at http://www.employmentblawg.com/recommended-links
I found this site as a recommendation featured in one of the many recruiting industry newsletters we receive - Airs News in an article by Paula Santonocito. This site is by "George Lenard, managing partner of Harris Dowell Fischer & Harris, a management labor and employment law firm based in Chesterfield, Mo. The blog shares workplace observations on legal matters and other trends. However, via a disclaimer, Lenard points out that information is general and does not constitute legal advice. Lenard's notation points to a sometimes overlooked aspect of blogs: Although they are often written by experts, they tend to be individual musings. In other words, it's important to consider the source and the context in which comments are made."

The next site I'd like to recommend features details about work visa related issues for those of you who might have interest in hiring a visa candidate or if you are an international candidate there is great information for you. What I particularly like, is that the site is hosted by a law firm (again like the one above) and provides up-to-date information about immigration issues. The law firm behind the site is Siskind Susser Bland and they say, "our firm's web site, which was launched in June, 1994, was the first immigration law firm web site and one of the very first law firm web sites in any category. Since then, it has remained one of the most immigration sites on the World Wide Web. Our site typically receives more than 1,000,000 hits every week from more than 150 different countries." I can't say enough positive about it. Also of note is the site has a section dedicated exclusively to healthcare visa issues in the Healthcare Info Center. Check it out at http://www.visalaw.com/IMG/resources.html

I think you'll find both to include a wealth of information and links that will assist you with most every employment law need. Good luck.

Happy and healthy job hunting and hiring!
