the definitive reference on hiring firing and managing employees.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Some will argue that employee litigation--even the threat or fear of such litigation--has created an atmosphere in the workplace that stifles productivity and cooperation. Sack, a practicing labor attorney who has written 12 other books, provides this guide, which attempts to help companies of all sizes avoid legal fees and settlements, as well as those who simply want to do the "right thing." He covers prehiring concerns, ranging from immigration checks to reference checks, the hiring process, negotiation benefits, protecting the company from dishonest employees, employee privacy issues, discipline, policies and procedures, discrimination, firing and termination, and post-termination points like exit interviews, severance, and unemployment hearings. Clearly targeting the employer's point of view--Sack has already written The Employee Rights Handbook (1991)--this book will also help employees who might need to know what the "other side's" strategy is.

Great book for new managers & admin HR people,
By JoAnna (TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Hiring to Firing (Hardcover)
This book is great if you're a new manager or starting your own business. It gives you all the basics (generalized, tho - not state specific) on how to manage employees. The book gives tips on how to approach situations, as well as the legal perspectives of your liability exposure. This is NOT a book you'd use as a reference... it's more of the type of book you'd read from cover to cover, highlighting as you go, to help you focus on what things you need to take care of in your own company. Not a substitute for an HR professional's advice, but it will put you in the HR frame of mind and give you the vocabulary to communicate with your Human Resources consultant or Labor attorney.
