ABA-FEMPL: Check out the state employee rights chart

Q: Is there a quick way to compare the various state laws that protect employee rights?

A: Access the newly released Fundamentals of Employment Law database (ABA-FEMPL). ABA-FEMPL contains the full text of the American Bar Association publication Fundamentals of Employment Law, which summarizes and compares state laws governing disability discrimination, wrongful discharge, reduction in force, and other areas of employment law. To retrieve a chapter devoted to employee privacy theories and related state law, run the following search, restricted to the prelim field (pr):

pr(employee /s privacy)

You retrieve a chapter that includes an easy-to-read chart that identifies the statutes available in each state governing AIDS policies, fingerprinting, and other employee privacy issues.

You can search ABA-FEMPL using the Terms and Connectors and Natural Language search methods. (The Table of Contents service is currently not available for this database.)
