| The Association of Washington Business (AWB) recently published a comprehensive guide designed to assist employers in deciphering Washington’s complex labor laws. The 5th Edition Wage & Hour Handbook and CD provides the latest information on key issues that are pivotal to a company’s success and will help maintain a positive rapport with employees.
AWB worked closely with employment law attorneys at Lane Powell PC to make sure the guide summarizes the law governing employee wages and hours of work. It discusses who is considered to be an employer according to state and federal law, who is considered to be an employee, what compensation must be paid and when, what hours must be compensated, when extra wages must be paid for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week, whether benefits are considered to be compensation, how to handle deductions from paychecks, and the records that must be maintained regarding all of these issues. It also shows how to prepare, revise and review employee business forms to avoid liability. Business owners can purchase this publication for $85 plus shipping and handling.
“We understand that not every business has the resources to staff a human resources manager or to hire an employment law attorney,” said AWB President Don Brunell. “By publishing this guide, AWB gives smaller businesses the ability to have a human resources guide nearby at all times.”
