Ensure a hiring procedure is in place Many employers get caught up in the rush to hire new employees and fail to take basic steps in the hiring process. Employers should be patient and use available screening tools. They should use an employment application form with legal disclaimers such as: employment is "at will," and no one can change that status except in writing; the employee is subject to drug testing at any time; and statements on the application and in the screening process are truthful. References should be solicited using a separate form authorizing a background check. Other essential screening tools include in-person interviews; drug and alcohol testing; criminal, educational, credit and/or driving-record checks.
Voice has been identified as a powerful determinant of worker motivation for forming and joining labor organizations. An important portion of voice is having an ability to be represented in the disciplinary and grievance procedures.

The major split within the ranks of organized labor during the summer of 2005 -- the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations' (AFL-CIO) loss of approximately 40% of its membership -- is but the culmination of fifty years of a slow but inexorable drift awa...

Nationally, $5.7 billion of the $50.9 billion in unemployment claim payments made between July 2010 and June 2010 were found...

The case of Wal-Mart Stores v. Dukes involves a complex set of legal and procedural issues that will determine whether a group of 1.5 million current and former retail store employees can join to form the largest class ever in an employment discrimination case. But at oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, the justices focused on an apparent inconsistency in the argument advanced by the employees, who allege that company-wide policies resulted in lower pay and fewer promotions for female employees.
