Editorial Reviews
Review
"If you can't afford a lawyer, use a reliable road map for discrimination and employment law, such as Stay Out of Court, by Rita Risser. The book discusses all the important points of employment law, with topics such as sexual harassment and how to safely hire and fire (two of the riskiest actions). There's a chapter called "Your Rights as a Manager" ("the shortest section, " Risser jokes)." -- Inc. The Magazine For Growing Companies, January 1994
"Rita Risser has made an impressive effort to address the age-old problem of hiring the best people while minimizing the exposure to vicarious liability lawsuits that are devastating to corporate profits. Stay Out of Court serves as a clear, practical guide to help mangers avoid these danger zones, comply with government regulations, and keep their companies out of court. Included in the book are detailed lay person's explanations of today's complex hiring and firing laws; guidance for making personnel policies legally airtight; and scores of case histories of successful lawsuits, as well as the costly mistakes that a company can avoid." -- Security Management, May 1994
"Rita Risser, an attorney specializing in discrimination and employment law, has provided a valuable, catch-all guide to today's sue me/sue you business environment. If you hire, manage, and fire employees, you can get an overview of the danger zones by reading Stay Out of Court." -- Memphis Business A Quarterly Review, Third Quarter 1993
"While legions of self-proclaimed Workplace Consultants are cropping up and quickly touting their new books, here's a refreshing change--a guide for employers that has something to say. The tone is human and humane. The chapter on achieving a diverse workplace while balancing the attendant sensitivities is a particular godsend in these times that are so loaded for managers." -- Nolo News, Winter 1993 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
