The Guide is intended to help employers understand the many and varied legal issues that can arise from everyday employment-related decisions, including hiring, discipline, and termination. The format is designed principally to heighten awareness and facilitate discussion of these and other subjects, rather than a formal set of rules listing "do's" and "don'ts".
