The Employer's Legal Advisor June 30, 2008 (Amacom, $24.00)
As an employer, there's always the chance of a worker hitting you with a lawsuit. Rather than merely hope one doesn't unfold, you need to be prepared. The Employer’s Legal Guide, by respected St. Louis attorney Thomas M. Hanna, shows you how—laying out steps you can take to prevent a lawsuit, as well as how to handle one if the situation does, in fact, arise.
In his examination of this key issue, Hanna hits home the need to be proactive. The author advocates training managers and supervisors to report any employees whose behavior style runs the risk of inciting a sexual harassment case. Similarly, the author details how to maintain the proper documentation regarding difficult individuals to prepare for a potential dealing with a government agency or courtroom proceeding. He also goes over how to exercise the four levels of disciplinary action: the verbal warning, written warning, suspension and discharge. Addressing these points of concern, Hanna writes from the perspective of an attorney who has litigated hundreds of cases in front of federal and state courts and government bodies.
