Three reference sites — for general HR, overtime rules, and technology policies

The only common thread here is that these are three sites you may want to explore and bookmark, as they look to be full of helpful content.

Its site includes a Human Resources page, with links to numerous articles on:

(2) Federal government sites offer great depth of information that is, obviously, quite authoratative and reliable. I could get lost for days in the Department of Labor site.

It’s the gateway for an alphabet soup of agencies, including the Employment Standards Administration, which in turn includes:

OFCCP, administering affirmative action and nondiscrimination for government contractors and subcontractors.

I found this page with links to useful info. on overtime.

The ePolicy Institutehas a number of useful free resources, including:
