Dive Insight:
“Every state in the country has its own set of laws covering everything from employee privacy rights to overtime to what can be on an application,” says Patricia Trainor, vice president for HR & Compensation Markets at BLR. “State Law Chart Builder lets HR professionals see at a glance what they can and can’t do, and better answer questions coming at them from employees and supervisors all over the country.”
Dan Oswalk, BLR CEO, says the product represents the evolution of the company's best-selling manual, 50 Employment Laws in 50 States, into an online application.
“Now HR can get answers instantly, and know that the content is always up to date with new laws and regs," he says.
