The Real Employee Handbook

Have you ever looked at your company's employee handbook and had questions about your rights instead of all the company's rules and policies? Do you really know the rules for workplace survival and success? Have you ever had a question about what your rights are when looking for job, while you have been on the job, of after you have lost a job? This is your REAL employee handbook - it tells you what your boss will not tell you. This book is written by a lawyer with over 30 years of experience counseling employees about every day issues that arise in American workplaces, and is largely a collection of common questions and answers, ranging from the very basic - What can a prospective employer ask me? - to the more challenging - what should I do if I receive unfair discipline or suspect I am going to be fired? - to the ultimate - should I call a lawyer (and how do I find a good one)? A great gift for people entering the workforce! While you may have been given an employee handbook by an employer, this book is the real handbook that you need to succeed.​

ABA Consumer Guide to Employee Rights

Although a job is a huge part of most people’s lives, few people fully understand the rules that define their employment or know their options when the relationship with their employer sours. This book covers issues such as job security and termination issues; discrimination; job applicant rights; harassment; privacy at work; whistleblower rights; and when to hire an attorney. It will answer questions such as:
What rights do I have in the workplace?
Can I be fired without warning?
Am I entitled to overtime pay even if I am paid a salary?
What are my rights if I think I am the victim of discrimination?

Written by a top employment attorney, this book will help employees understand their rights and what to do if those rights are violated.​
