Employment-related laws and regulations rapidly evolve – often without warning – and business owners must remain fully apprised. With this in mind, a series of in-depth feature articles in the August issue of NEW JERSEY BUSINESS magazine explore: best practices for conducting prospective employee interviews and, separately, employee performance reviews; the potentials and pitfalls of so-called “flex time”; paid leave for employees; how to hire military veterans; and an update on modern office designs. Additional August stories include: celebrating the City of Newark’s 350th anniversary; detailing small business financing options, examining the impact of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs); and showcasing “Top Managing Partners” via a special advertising supplement.
