New Best Practices Tab - A new Best Practices tab has been added to certain topics within the HR Reference Library. The information found by clicking this tab highlights best practices pertaining to the applicable topic and functional area of HR, along with information about the source of each best practice. It also includes a brief author biography along with a listing of the author’s relevant publications, where applicable. Each Best Practice tab links to In-Depth content within the HR Reference library, where further information can be obtained.
Improved Advance Search template - A new functionality was added to Consult Carswell in the Advanced Search template to allow you to search Legislation by Jurisdiction to save you time. The advanced search by jurisdiction allows you to enter your information in the advanced search section, and select which jurisdiction you want. This narrows the selection criteria of the search so that you will get search results on the jurisdiction(s) selected rather than all the results for the information entered.
