Employer's rights : your legal handbook from hiring to termination and everything in between - Fleischer, Charles H. (Naperville, Ill. : Sphinx Pub., 2004)
The days of when managing employer-employee relations was relatively simple are gone. What was common practice yesterday now exposes employers to substantial risk and expense. This is a must have for every manager, human resource professional, or small business owner who wants to protect themselves, treat their employees fairly and comply with the law. Fortunately, Employer's Rights is here. It is aimed at employers who are proving themselves successful at what they do, but who find themselves a bit bewildered by the employment problems that seem to arise with increasing frequency.
