Legal and Regulatory Information for America’s Small Businesses
http://www.Business.gov
Set up as an offshoot of the SBA (Small Business Administration), this site tries to service the small business owner, with links to lots of other critical government entities. As the site description says, “Business.gov is an online resource guide designed to provide information to America’s small businesses…One of the main reasons small businesses fail is because they don’t seek help at critical development stages. Business.gov assumes that every business stage is a critical one. Our goal is to provide knowledge of basic issues so that businesses can identify potential problems early and take preventative action.”

This is just an overview site, with a multitude of links back to specific parts of the DOL. Easy to get lost here, it still is an important site to bookmark.

Legal Information Institute – Cornell Law School
http://topics.law.cornell.edu/wex/Employment_discrimination
The stated mission of this site is to make the law more accessible, by “facilitating the use and understanding of law materials by those who are not expert researchers of U.S. legal documents – including students, professionals from other fields heavily touched by law, lawyers and judges from outside the U.S., and ordinary citizens.” Again, one can get easily lost, but the links are awesome.

The CT General Assembly Main Site
http://www.cga.ct.gov/
This is a confusing but fascinating look at CT State Government. If you want to find out what your elected legislature is doing, check this out. (Hint: click on the “Site Map”to locate interesting sections.) For instance, laws relating to employment are posted here prior to their discussion and vote. Also, if you want to find out the actual text of a law, you can find it here, if you know where to look!

Although sponsored by an Affirmative Action consulting group, this site is the most accessible explanation of the EEOC’s procedural document for making sure selection procedures are fairly administered. Pay close attention to this website when we discuss recruitment and selection.
