Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance Guide Now Available on CCH Internet Research NetWork

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., September 20, 2006) – Now employment attorneys, EEO Officers and Senior HR practitioners have access to a comprehensive guide to EEO issues in an electronic environment that allows them to link to major cases, laws and the official EEOC Compliance Manual. The Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance Guide from Aspen Publishers and CCH, now available on the CCH Internet Research NetWork, is the first single source covering all regulations, plus key EEOC publications and decisions. Along with Loislaw and Kluwer Law International, Aspen Publishers and CCH are part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business (corporatecounsel.cch.com).

The Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance Guide is a comprehensive and easy-to-use resource that examines all the major administrative and judicial decisions, interpretive memoranda and other publications of the EEOC, providing compliance advice as well as reprinting the text of the most important of these publications.

The Guide also supplies vital information on the use of EEOC regulations by the states. It presents easy-to-understand explanations of EEOC regulations, together with annotations to the relevant judicial decisions, while giving fast access to the regulations through quick-reference charts.

Designed to meet the needs of both employment law attorneys and human resources professionals, the Guide presents thorough EEO coverage that mirrors the continuity between EEO claims avoidance strategy and EEO litigation strategy.

“During recent in-depth interviews with employment law attorneys, they told us they needed better EEO resources that offer practical guidance and explanations. Our new Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance Guide does just that. And, best of all, in the electronic environment, subscribers have instant access to the full text of laws, regulations and cases, plus the ability to link to other works, such as the EEOC Compliance Manual,” said Kristen Kaplan, CCH product manager.

Keeping Current

The Guide keeps professionals current with the hottest issues in the EEO field. Its timely coverage includes:

A discussion of the Supreme Court’s recent decision about disparate impact claims under the ADEA in Smith v. City of Jackson;
A review of psychological tests, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the finding that such tests may be considered to be medical examinations;
A discussion of recent cases on the issue of whether employees who are “regarded as” disabled must be reasonably accommodated;
A discussion of EEOC filing deadlines based on termination notification dates and actions other than termination;
An update on the EEOC’s response to the controversial decision by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Erie County Retirees Association v. County of Erie, which called into question the long-standing employer practice of coordinating retirement and Medicare benefits;
A discussion of cases following the EEOC’s position that requests for date of birth, by themselves, do not violate the ADEA; and
A discussion of cases involving gender stereotyping.

“Add the ability to track topics with CCH’s exclusive Employment Law Tracker News on the CCH Internet Research NetWork, and subscribers can be confident they are current with emerging issues,” Kaplan noted.
