Regardless of the size
of the company, effective handling of labor and employment matters is essential
to maintaining smooth operations. During the past 25 years, the business community
has witnessed a vast change in the legal landscape pertaining to employment
relations. Governmental agencies and courts continuously create a dizzying
array of statutes and rules to be followed. Moreover, employment litigation
has become a high stakes game of Russian Roulette. Six- and seven-figure jury
awards to former employees have become commonplace.
More than ever, employers need to have a single source of information
when it comes to managing employee transactions such as hiring, assignment,
promotion, termination, and layoffs. Indeed, hardly a day goes by that
there is not some news report about sexual harassment, wrongful termination,
whistleblowers, drug testing, affirmative action, employee privacy, workplace
violence, workplace safety, or some claim of workplace discrimination
on the basis of race, sex, national origin and the like. Moreover, we
are just beginning to see the impact of laws such as the Americans With
Disabilities Act and the Family Medical Leave Act.
