Book was a tremendous help. I had the opportunity to do a little freelance work and needed guidance ( to ensure that I was knowledgeable about another's state perspective on jury duty, leave compilation and a host of other entities). I was able to craft an Employee Handbook that was outstanding. Strongly recommended for individuals looking to start their own business (protects you and the workers). Always remember....information is power and there is no excuses for not being in compliance.
