Abstract:
The ability to identify and manage HRM problems in small businesses is a key area in which small firms can gain competitive advantage. For this paper, a Small Business (SBO) will refer to those companies with 15 or less employees. The authors present five important legal topics that should assist SBOs in meeting some of the most critical employment law regulations. A brief overview of these areas includes: Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Equal Pay Act of 1963, and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
