The #1 Rule: Do the Right Thing
Thought I’d try to keep things simple today . . .
Far too often, people get mired in nitty factual details or the technical aspects of the law and forget the big picture. To avoid that happening to you, we recommend asking one little question that can help you stay out of legal hot water:
What’s the right thing to do?
That’s the essence of all employment laws: helping employers do what’s right. Force yourself to keep asking that question every step of the way.
If you ignore all my other babblings here on the Blawg and remember nothing more than this, you should be just fine.

Simply put, and so true. Excellent advice.
I recently wrote a long piece on employment law, and found that it really boiled down to that simple truth.

Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer. Sometimes attorneys can over-complicate things. My small brain likes to keep things simple.
