content, and the ability to achieve overall communications excellence. With
close to 5,000 entries, this year's competition was exceptionally intense, according
to John De Lellis, editor and publisher of Communications Concepts, which runs
the competition.
"Research, organization, clarity of copywriting and content formatting
are all first rate," the panel of judges said in recognizing BLR's guide.
"Clean layout and typography reinforce the crisp in-depth copy. An exceptional
guide."
The judges presented a total of 100 APEX Grand Awards in 11 major categories.
The self-audit guide received a Grand Award in the category of Special Publications.
In August 2004, the Department of Labor published new rules governing who is
eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act. BLR designed the
guide to help employers learn the new rules and aid them in bringing their companies
into compliance.

winning this award were Environmental Manager's Compliance Advisor Newsletter,
HR Manager's Legal Reporter Newsletter, Safety Training Tips Ezine,
