Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This work of popular legal reference is similar in approach to Dan Lacey's Your Rights in the Workplace ( LJ 2/15/92). Like Lacey, labor lawyer Joel presents an employee's legal rights from the initial mating dance of the job interview to, as increasingly occurs, a messy divorce at termination. Joel sees a worker's best defense as a good offense: he suggests we each start compiling a "personal personnel file" from the moment we spot a seductive want ad, maintaining this paper trail to counter our bosses' documentation should the need arise. In a downright chatty style, Joel discusses over 100 strictures governing hours, wages, working conditions, discrimination, and related issues. He provides fuller coverage than Lacey of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. Joel also untangles the labyrinth of workers'-compensation rules, and aging baby boomers will appreciate his coverage of the age-discrimation law that protects the "Over Forties." A robust glossary, summaries of key legislation, and examples of real-life employment conflicts conclude the book. Recommended to libraries serving the legal research needs of the public.

5.0 out of 5 stars
By far the best book i've seen dealing with employee rights,
By A Customer
This review is from: Every Employee's Guide to the Law: Revised and Updated to Include New Laws (Paperback)
This book takes you through the whole process of the interview right through making the decision as to whether your rights have been violated and what to do if they have been. This is a very easy to read book done in a very thoughtful way exploring whether contesting an employers action is a smart decision to suing the hell out of them for a blatent violation of the law. Ill never go unprepared again.

Review from an earlier edition,
By A Customer
This review is from: Every Employee's Guide to the Law: Revised and Updated to Include New Laws (Paperback)
I purchased an older edition of this book back in the early 90's and it has been my "bible" on the job ever since! This book is in a straightforward, easy to understand format and contains invaluable information for anyone who works.

This review is from: Every Employee's Guide to the Law: Revised and Updated to Include New Laws (Paperback)
Excellent, informative and enjoyable read. This book is extremely well-written. It offers a wide spectrum of Employment Law. I usually keep books like this on hand to skim through, as reference material. However, this book was such an enjoyable read, I didn't want to put it down!Many thanks to the author. pstroe@nac.net
