Fair, Square & Legal is a concise, one-stop guide to what you as a manager should and shouldn't do if you want to stay clear of trouble. This revised edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, and provides new coverage of the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Written by an experienced manager, the book translates complex legal issues and precedents into a set of easy-to-follow guidelines for managing people. It provides both an overview of safe managerial procedures and a quick look-up source for specific situations you may encounter. The book encompasses a broad range of potential problem areas. For each, author Donald H. Weiss supplies non-legalese definitions of key 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.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
America's disgruntled employees increasingly dispute their bosses' personnel decisions. And they no longer just grouse, grieve, or quit: they sue. In 1988, courts awarded workers over $70 million in wrongful-discharge and breach-of-con tract suits against U.S. business. Weiss has written a manager's guide through the thicket of law and regulation dealing with recruitment, interviews, sexual discrimi nation and harassment, performance re views, discipline, privacy, and termination. In everyday English, Weiss reviews the law (including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and recent enactments protecting people with AIDS), defines key legal terms, and suggests ways managers can handle personnel actions that might otherwise get them in trouble. Weiss accompanies each topic with relevant cases and provides an appropriate amount of legal citation. Recommended for collections in employment law and labor relations.
