5 out of 5 stars Great resource!   September 7, 2008

I am the sole HR person at my company. So, using this book has been very helpful and easy to use. I hope this book gets updated in a timely manner for future HR professionals/managers to use.




4 out of 5 stars Keep Within Easy Reach   August 24, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

As a corporate HR director for a fortune 500 company, I am supposed to have all the answers when the phone rings or someone walks in the door. I don't have all the answers and never will and that is why I keep reference books such as the HR Answer Book within easy reach.

I can recommend this book to anyone in HR at any level. It's topic matter ranges from the very simple to more complex issues. I hope the revised version will contain a large section on labor relations as this is an area that many in HR struggle with. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR Author ofWingtips with Spurs

5 out of 5 stars An excellent resource   October 6, 2006
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I highly recommend this book. I run a HR department by myself and since it is just me, myself, and I - this book gets lots of use; just to get another perspective on how something should be handled or feedback "so to speak."

It is written in a simple, clear, and direct manner. Very easy to use and understand.



4 out of 5 stars This is easy !   April 12, 2006
I bought this book last year while coaching an HR professional. What I didn't realize is how much I needed to have this information on hand here in my office. Time after time my staff and I will use this as a resource when questioning an issue with pay,hiring,firing,what is fair and what is right for our employees. I have also found I will use when I suspect a client might be in a grey zone with an employee. A must have for small business owners! Alicia Fruin
