Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of employment law. Specifically the paper discusses how the federal and New Hampshire state systems of government may or may not differ in their application of employment laws. Federal employment laws set the standard for most state laws.

From the Paper
"New Hampshire also has a statute regarding "displaced homemakers" that covers older women who may have been absent from the workforce for many years, and are suddenly displaced due to death, divorce, or other occurrences. The state offers assistance to these women, training for new jobs, and employment assistance. This is also a statute that is not represented in the federal employment laws. It is clear this must be a problem in New Hampshire because lawmakers felt it needed to be addressed. This statue originally took effect in 1979, so it seems New Hampshire is more forward thinking than many other states who do not yet address this issue."

From the Paper
"Every individual has the nature to pursue his/her interests. But when it comes to working together, these interests may often collide with each other's. Therefore, there has to be a balancing act which should ensure the protection of interests of everyone. With a multitude of laws, regulations, statutes and other considerations in the area of employment law, the federal government, through Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (1964), has created a basic framework for employers to ensure that employees are treated fairly on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age, thus reducing their liabilities. One of the outcomes of our forefather's leap into the American experiment is the ability of individual states to enact laws pertaining to their unique situations."

Abstract
This paper, written in the form of a letter to the Governor of Hawaii, argues against the use of the the state-mandated Prepaid Health Care law of 1974 which requires all businesses to provide medical insurance benefits to all employees who work more than twenty hours per week. The paper shows that this law affects the profitability of these businesses as they cannot afford to pay the average $2,200 per person on an annual basis. The paper looks at the disadvantages of the law to both employers and employees and examines alternatives.

From the Paper
"In addition, many employers do not maintain full-time staff members because if they hire employees that work under twenty hours per week rather than full-time, they will not have to pay for the increasing costs of their health insurance premiums. This, in turn, limits potential economic growth because employees are not able to receive sufficient salaries for living expenses, and with the tax structure that is in place in Hawaii, it is often very difficult for the average family to survive. Furthermore, when fewer employees are available to perform the work, the result is evident in the lower production of products and services and this affects overall economic growth."

From the Paper
"Employment practices in the United States are governed by a wide variety of regulations and laws including local, State and federal rules. Sometimes these rules will differ. In these instances, it is up to the employer to know which rule to follow. According to a document published on the U,S.

From the Paper
"On January 9, 2009 it was reported by Jim Abrams in the work entitled: "House Approves Bill to Fight Wage Discrimination" that the "House Democrats...energized by the prospects of a pro-labor president...marked the first week of the new Congress...by pushing through two bills to help workers, particularly women, who are victims of discrimination." Abrams relates that this act would effectively reverse the 2007 Supreme Court decision concerning the allotted time in which a worker is allowed to file a wage discrimination previously limited to 180 days of the "first decision to pay that worker less, even if the person was unaware of the pay disparity." (2009)
"The previous decision arose from a case in which Lilly Ledbetter, a supervisor at a Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. plant located in Gadsden Alabama sued the company over pay discrimination "when she learned, shortly before retiring after a 19-year career there, that she earned less than any male supervisor. A jury ruled in her favor, but the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, threw out her complaint, saying she had failed to sue within the 180-day deadline after a discriminatory pay decision was made." (Abrams, 2009)"

Abstract
The paper relates that many citizens today are concerned about the issue of employment law as it relates to the failures of employment law, particularly the increasing complexity of the employment "at will" doctrine and all its exceptions and unpredictable outcomes. The paper discusses the Montana Wrongful Discharge from the Employment Act and the Model Employment Termination Act drafted by the Uniform Law Commissioners. The paper argues that based on these and other proposed solutions to the problem, a model law can be drafted to address the issue and to serve as a guide for the future.

"Many citizens today are concerned about the issue of employment law as it relates to the failures of employment law, particularly the increasing complexity of the employment "at will" doctrine and all its exceptions and unpredictable outcomes. Workers and litigants at a wide range of compensation levels have had complaints about this area of the law. Among the laws that have been written to address aspects of this issue are the Montana Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act and the Model Employment Termination Act drafted by the Uniform Law Commissioners. Based on these and other proposed solutions to the problem, a model law can be drafted to address the issue and to serve as a guide for the future."

Abstract
This paper discusses the relative similarities of employment law at the federal and state levels, regarding workers' compensation, drug testing and sexual harassment. The paper makes the observation that while there are some small, localized differences between employment law at the federal and state levels, they are far more similar than different.

"This document discusses the relative similarities of employment law at the federal and state levels. The scope of employment law is fairly broad so this project confines itself to workers' compensation, drug testing and sexual harassment. The observation is made that while there are some small, localized differences between employment law at the federal and state levels, they are far more similar than different."

Abstract
This paper explains that the most grievances under the U.S. equal employment laws show that personal differences and environmental bias are a leading cause in terminations or dismissal within the workplace. In particular, the writer evaluates two of his own work experiences for ways that they violated the law. The paper concludes that a problem in resolving work discrimination situations is that personal opinions and perspectives play a large role in how all parties see the events and how they happened.

From the Paper
"After being denied my claim, I began the process of appeals which took about eight months to remedy. This process included faxing my documentation to several of the states unemployment offices and getting statements from my former managers and supervisors. With in this process I was denied several times until I got to the high level administration of the Ohio state unemployment office. This lead administrator was sympathetic to my plight and over turned all of the previous judgments. Apparently this company had numerous complaints about their practices and procedures."
