Review by Charise M. Arrowood for Confidential Compensation Rating: This is an exceptionally well-written and practical book on how small businesses can afford to offer their employees exactly what they want, medical benefits. If you are self-employed or own a small business, this book will be enormously useful to you-- it's been great for me!

I will have a compensation package that is very difficult to compete with, and I won't have to worry so much about having my talent stolen away.

Review by Robert Erickson for Employee Benefits Rating: For my Masters I needed to purchase this book. Wow, what a crappy book with irrelevant comments. If you have to use it GET IT USED!!!!! In my opinion, if this book was missing pages you would not be missing anything.

Review by J. Choate for Employee Benefits Rating: This book was the text for an employee benefits class in the human resources management certificate program at U.C. Berkeley Extension.

I found it comprehensive and detailed, yet easier to read than most textbooks. One negative comment I have is that the price seems very high given the relative small size of the book (9" x 7.25" x only .5" thick). But the book is on point and informative, which is more than I can say for a lot of texts!

Review by Diane M. Pfadenhauer for Employee Benefits Rating: I have used this textbook for several years in a Graduate HR class that I teach. It is comprehensive and provides an excellent overview of employee benefits for the HR professional. Unlike other lengthy (i.e. in excess of 600 pages) texts, this is easily used to supplement or serve as a benefits "portion" of a class. The supplemental materials for instructors are excellent as well. So, why didn't it get 5 stars? THE PRICE. I agree that it is quite expensive.
