About this trail:
State employment law compliance can be very important -- and tricky. I'm developing this trail of Internet and print resources on state employment laws, starting with one that I got a promo email on.

Separate books for each state. Nice in that it compares to federal law on each topic. May be more worthwhile option if you're only concerned about one or a few states than if you have nationwide operations. Promotional email points out: "It's true. You can comply completely with FLSA, FMLA, and other federal law, but still get tripped up by state statutes you weren't aware of." And: "Unlike the federal government, which conveniently puts all new laws and regulations into one publication, the Federal Register, states use a variety of sometimes obscure journals to alert their citizens that the law has changed. These are not widely available, yet officials still expect you to know and to comply with the changes and will penalize you if you don't. Ignorance of the law, as usual, is no excuse."

No layman's explanations here; just links right to the statutes of each state.

From the feds, super-handy state law summaries. Choose a topic, click the state on the map, and there you have it . . . If it's really an important issue, definitely check other sources for updates, as feds may not stay on top of changes.
