Employment
Guide: In its continuing effort
to help its members avoid becoming entangled in the myriad of complex
federal and state laws governing businesses and the workplace, NCCBI
has published the “North Carolina Employer’s Guide to Hiring and
Firing,” a concise reference work that will help you make the right
decisions when confronted with difficult choices. The book will be
particularly helpful to companies that do not have large human
resources department to handle hiring and firing decisions.
The book, the third in the North Carolina Legal Reference Series of
publications NCCBI is producing for its members, is a must for anyone
who deals with employees on a daily basis. The “Guide to Hiring and
Firing” will walk you through the employment relationship from
beginning to end and will alert you to potential problem areas so that
you can prevent them before they happen. The book is written by
attorneys at the Parker, Poe, Adams & Bernstein law firm.
The 164-page “Employer’s Guide to Hiring and Firing” is $84 for
NCCBI members, $99 for non-members. To order one or all of the
publications in the Legal Reference Series, call 1-888-225-6030 or
