Introduction

Not too many years ago, managing employer-employee relations was relatively simple. Little more was required than meeting payroll and remembering to deposit withholding taxes on time. Since then, life has become infinitely more complicated and uncertain. Employment practices that easily passed muster yesterday now expose employers to substantial risk and expense. At the same time, employees have become more knowledgeable about their rights and much less bashful about exercising them.

It is easy to cite examples of practices that may once have been common, but now, depending on the circumstances, could give rise to civil lawsuits and even criminal prosecutions. Do any of these sound like good ideas?

Ill just call my staff independent contractors and avoid the hassles that come with employees.

Bob worked overtime all day Saturday copying and stapling the proposal, so Ill give him a day off next week.

Nancy quit on me in the middle of her project. Theres no way Im going to pay her for the two weeks vacation she had coming.

If I hire through a temp agency, I can tell them to send me men for the sales positions and women for secretaries without having to worry about sex discrimination.

Becky in Accounting has been dating her assistant. I hear theyre having problems, but theyre just going to have to work things out.

The next person who gets his salary garnished is out of here!

If any of these strikes a familiar chord, this book is for you!

Employment is, fundamentally, an economic relationship. The employer seeks an employee who will work competently and dependably in furtherance of the employers business. The employee seeks regular work at reasonable compensation.

At the same time, the employment relationship is awash in powerful, psychodynamic currents. Employers, having risked their personal capital to keep their businesses afloat, may have unreasonable expectations of loyalty and devotion from their workforce. Employees, on the other hand, may feel at sea when subjected to seemingly arbitrary and unexplained decisions by their bosses. Both sides often define themselves and derive their sense of self-worth from the employment relationship, so stormy encounters can be treacherous.

Employment is also a highly regulated relationship. Since employers have historically held greater economic power than individual employees, federal, state, and even local governments have felt it necessary to intervene. As a result, employers do not have freedom to dictate (or even negotiate) many terms and conditions of employment. They must pay minimum wages and time-and-a-half for overtime. They must comply with detailed workplace safety standards. They must conform their employee benefit plans to complicated legal requirements. And they are forbidden from making employment decisions based on a host of prohibited criteria.

Employers are also easy targets for the imposition of requirements that otherwise have little to do with the employment relationship. In the income tax area, for example, employers enforce their employees obligations to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and to state taxing authorities by withholding an array of items from employee paychecks. Employers also finance government social policy embodied in workers compensation and unemployment compensation laws. They must even assist the government in collecting certain debts and locating parents who ignore their child support obligations.

This book is intended as an overview of U.S. workplace laws, regulations, and court decisions that employers, large or small, are likely to face. Some chapters explore the employment relationship primarily as it is affected by the common lawthe law we inherited from England and are developing by judicial decisions in this country. Other chapters deal with federal and state statutes that bear directly on the employment relationship or that impose obligations on employers. The goal in each case is to present general principles, to highlight hot issues, and to offer specific examples and suggestions to make the employer-employee relationship run more smoothly.
