One of the most confounding areas of employment law relates to
employee leave. Who is entitled to leave? Under what circumstances?
Can you hire a replacement for an employee, or do you have to
protect or hold open an employee's job during the leave? Although
the issues are seemingly complex and confusing at first, it is
important you understand them. You then can answer the questions
with confidence by taking a step-by-step approach to considering
and administering each leave according to applicable laws and with
regard to any applicable company policies and practices.

Michael looked forward to attending his first industry conference.
He was entering his third year in the accounting field, and wanted
to meet the right people and stay on top of industry trends.
Unfortunately, he was unprepared for his conference. He didn't know
what to bring, so instead of asking someone for help, he packed
only casual clothes. There was a black-tie dinner, and he ran
around the city looking for rental tuxedo. Michael also forgot to
bring the latest company brochures and ended up giving away all of
his business cards before the end of the three-day conference.
While he was able to overcome some of these issues, they left him
stressed and anxious, and he wasn't able to enjoy himself. Michael
vowed to be better prepared the next time.

who's hated his boss. Call it karma, feng shui, or just the way of
the world, but everyone seems to have had a boss they've disliked.
Really disliked. Even bosses have hated their bosses.

Let's just admit it: interviews are nerve-racking. Whether it's
because you think it's the perfect job — who wouldn't want to be
the PR Director of a huge Manhattan firm? — and are under pressure
to make the best possible first impression in order to land the
job, or because you are an interview novice, interviews can cause a
great deal of anxiety and stress.
