WSLL Recommends: Sautter's Employment in Wisconsin

Employment in Wisconsin: A Guide to Employment Laws, Regulations, and Practices is a single volume work on state and federal laws that affect the employer/employee relationship and working conditions in the private sector. The author's purpose is to "provide a brief, plainly written summary," with each chapter focusing on an employment related topic:
  • Employment relationship
  • Employment-at-will and employment contracts, agreements and handbooks
  • Hiring and firing
  • Discrimination in employment
  • Wage and hours
  • Benefits
  • Safety in the workplace
  • Workers' compensation
  • Union organizing
  • Record keeping
  • Unemployment compensation
Attorneys and employers will appreciate this book's concise guidance on drafting documents, disclaimers, sample rules, policies, and procedures. Employment in Wisconsin, updated annually, was last supplemented in January 2013.
