PHR Employee Labor Relations Study Guide | ADHD & Autism Friendly PHR Exam Prep | Color-Coded Chunked Notes | HRCI 2024 Outline | Printable PDF

The single most important domain on the PHR — made memorizable.

Employee & Labor Relations is 20% of your PHR exam, the highest-weighted domain of all. Miss this one and the math gets brutal. This 30-page guide breaks the entire domain down into laws, forms, numbers, and cases you can actually retain — built for how your brain works.

What's inside (30 pages):

• The full labor law timeline (Railway Labor Act through FMLA) with the problem each law solved
• The employee-threshold ladder — which law kicks in at 1, 15, 20, 50, and 100 employees
• WARN Act, OSHA forms (300 / 300A / 301), and the recordable-vs-reportable trap that costs people points
• Unions & the NLRA: coverage exclusions, TIPS rule, Weingarten rights, ULPs on both sides, shop types, and the election process
• Discipline, at-will exceptions, the Seven Tests of Just Cause, and constructive discharge
• EEO essentials: disparate treatment vs. impact, the 4/5ths Rule, harassment standards, and the Faragher-Ellerth defense
• Grievance procedures, ADR methods, and a full forms + numbers cheat sheet
• 6 practice scenarios with worked answers and a morning-of-exam review page

Built ADHD & Autism friendly:

• Color-coded box legend so every type of information is instantly recognizable
• Consistent structure on every topic: What It Is → The Rule → The Numbers → Memory Hook → Example
• Pomodoro-compatible 25-minute study blocks and memory hooks for every major concept
• Plain-English explanations — no dense wall-of-text studying

Format: Instant-download PDF. Print it, annotate it, or study on any device.
