Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

Have you ever needed to brief staff on the CAA, but were not sure where to start? Do you know how many weeks leave you are allowed under the Family and Medical Leave Act? Are you uncertain about whether your employees are eligible for overtime pay?

The Office of Compliance can provide you with answers to these questions and more. Whether you need to read the actual text of the Congressional Accountability Act, or simply want quick reference materials like easy-to-read fact sheets or downloadable PowerPoint® briefings, we have the information employees and employers need to meet the requirements of the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA).

Best of all, almost all of our resources are available online – some exclusively so – ensuring answers to your questions are only a mouse click away.

The Most Complete Resource on the CAA Ever

We have just released the two most complete resources on information related to the CAA the Office of Compliance has ever produced, the new CAA Hand-book and the eHandbook on CD-ROM.

The CAA Handbook was designed expressly to meet the need for a quick, easy- to-read reference guide on employment matters covered by the CAA. Inside, you will find short plain-English summaries of each workplace safety and civil rights law applied to Congress, information on office posting requirements and coverage limitations, and a primer on the dispute resolution process established by the CAA.

The eHandbook on CD-ROM is a companion to the CAA Handbook. By simply loading the CD-ROM into your PC or Mac you can access a complete reference library of information related to the CAA. Included on the disk is detailed information on all the laws applied by the CAA, the complete Office of Compliance Regulations and Procedural Rules, and the text of the CAA itself.
