"Middle and executive managers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, frequently violate the law and get themselves and their companies into deep trouble. Only carefully crafted, enforceable (and enforced) policies, and ongoing training can provide safe methods for managing in a diverse workplace." --From the Preface 
It's a fact that employees today have more legal rights than ever before--and they're more willing to sue if they think those rights have been violated. It's also a fact that this can spell trouble (with a capital "T") for you and your company. If you're not aware of the innumerable risks surrounding every interaction with someone who works for you, you're opening yourself up to potential legal problems--and all their associated costs. 
So there couldn't be a better time for a new edition of FAIR, SQUARE &amp; LEGAL, the classic guide that's been helping managers stay out of legal hot water for almost a decade. Now completely updated and revised to reflect new regulations and court decisions, FAIR, SQUARE &amp; LEGAL is the perfect antidote to an increasingly litigious workplace. 
You'll find the most current information on a variety of legal concerns surrounding: * New EEOC guidelines and the confusions they create * new legislation governing team formation * new court decisions regarding sexual harassment * defamation and violation of privacy * recruitment and hiring * evaluations and promotions * discipline and firing * affirmative action issues (including the ramifications of Proposition 209) * negligent hiring practices * managing people with disabilities * the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other issues. 
But despite its subject, FAIR, SQUARE &amp; LEGAL is not full of legalistic jargon. What it is full of is clear, concise jargon-free language, definitions of important terms, practical guidelines for what to say and do, fictionalized stories that illustrate both problems and solutions, and actual case studies of precedent-setting court decisions. This book is exactly what you need to treat your employees fairly and keep yourself and your company out of court--or at least defend your actions if you do wind up there.
