Kind of off topic but pertaining to employment law, Yahoo posted an article today about five reasons one can be fired for lifestyle choices, leaving one without recourse. All states except Montana and Arizona are "at will" states. At will means someone can be fired for no reason at all.

Ellen (thank you!) sent me the study materials used to prepare for the California garment manufacturer's licensing exam. I'm not linking to her in case she wasn't supposed to do that. Having had time to look over the information, I don't know why they don't post it to their website. This would save paper and educate lots of people about labor law in general. I realize state laws vary but if someone wanted an orientation to labor law while in the research process of considering the responsibilities of hiring, this would be a good start (California is picky). Ellen also put an asterisk on the materials she says from where the exam questions were taken. It is because I adore you and want you to start your enterprises with the utmost integrity that I won't tell you which these were.
The first booklet (blue cover) is thirty pages and printed in six point font making for difficult reading. It is comprised of excerpts of The laws relating to the time, manner and payment of wages. Two pages are a useful FAQ cross referencing questions to the pertinent section of law. This is also on the web and while it's prettier, cleaner and easier to read, it's not question guided from the main page, something I liked in the booklet.
