Bass, Berry & Sims Attorneys Author 2009 Labor Law Guide
Nashville, Tenn., October 1, 2008 – The Tennessee Chamber of Commerce has released their 2009 Human Resources Library, which features four employment law guides, including the flagship Tennessee Human Resources Manual, authored by attorneys at Bass Berry & Sims. The second edition, updated to reflect changes made over the past year in state and federal employment laws, covers everything from hiring to firing (and all things in between).
“Employment litigation is a growing industry,” said Tim K. Garrett, Member at Bass, Berry & Sims and lead author of the Human Resources Manual. “Each year, good companies find themselves in trouble because of seemingly small issues. We’ve compiled everything in one place, so nothing will be overlooked and businesses can rest easy.”
The Human Resources Manual is especially easy to use with the help of Snapshot, a five-minute HR-audit. By answering a few questions on current company policies and practices, employers and HR professionals are quickly able to target problem spots.
Deborah Woolly, president and CEO of the Tennessee Chamber added, “By offering these books, we are helping employers understand their responsibilities. Because the books are so easy to use, we’ve made the enormous task of staying up-to-date on employment laws incredibly simple. But what is really great about these books is that it gives employers the information to be an authority on this subject – no more time wasted searching the internet for answers or waiting for a call back from a lawyer.”
The manual is available for $125 and can be ordered online at www.accr.biz or by calling toll-free 866-439-2227. Members of the Tennessee Chamber save 20% – only $99. Check out the table of contents and read a chapter from the book at the publisher’s website: www.accr.biz.
