Alabama Employment Law is a single-volume desktop reference that provides extensive information concerning the laws, regulations, and policies affecting labor and employment in Alabama. It is not only as a resource for the many questions and issues that labor and employment practitioners face, but a guide to develop effective personnel policies while steering clear from potential sources of liability.

Alabama Employment Law explores all aspects of the employer-employee relationship, including:

> The general nature and formation of Alabama employment relationships, as well as special forms of Alabama employment and employment agreements (including the recent work-from-home trend);
> Discrimination and legally prohibited hiring actions, hiring tests, and the hiring of minors, as well as work reporting requirements and interference with employment;
> Various testing procedures, including substance abuse testing, polygraph testing, physical and mental tests, HIV/AIDS testing, and genetic testing;
> Ending the employment relationship and issues related to notice of termination, payment of wages on termination, and severance pay, as well as plant closings, mass layoffs, and/or business closings;
> Hours of work, break/rest periods, minimum wage, overtime pay, and record-keeping requirements;
> Benefits, including leave time, health care, group life insurance, retirement benefits, and commuting benefits;
> Employer duties and liabilities concerning health and safety standards, OSHA standards (and variances from OSHA standards), employee rights and duties, and restroom requirements/transgender rights;
> The various forms of discrimination and harassment of employees, including age discrimination, disability discrimination, wage discrimination, sex/gender discrimination, race/color discrimination, religious discrimination, as well as affirmative action, and the state and federal laws that apply;
> Employee relations, including new employee orientation, performance evaluations, employee discipline, grievance procedures, and employee privacy and defamation;
> Unions, union organizing, and the NLRA, as well as unfair labor practices and employee rights under the NLRA;
> Workers' compensation, SSDI, and SSI;
