Did you know you can find all municipal employment law content by using our search bars?
Municipal content, located within the Employment Law Manual's State Requirements section, can be accessed in two ways. To locate municipal content through the main search bar, enter the municipality as the query and filter the subsequent results by state or tool type to narrow down your results. Or, to locate your municipality from directly within the Employment Law Manual, type the municipality's name in the second, tool-specific search bar, highlighted in pink.

Editor's Message |
I highly recommend our latest report: Top 10 LGBT- Employment Friendly States. Major media outlets have been abuzz about the findings in the report, the likes of which I've rarely seen! Just a few of the outlets that found our exclusive report noteworthy include The Huffington Post, AOL Jobs, boston.com, South Florida Gay News, and CBS News. Over 300 news and business publishers saw fit to share our findings. Clearly issues such as LGBT rights and protections affect workplaces across the country. But they aren't just about work, they are about people. As such, they are of widespread public interest. I can't wait for our next report!
