Publisher's Synopsis
A job is like a romance -- companies woo applicants with promises of riches and fulfilment, and then often dump them when the honeymoon is over. In clear layperson's language, the book tells you how to be properly hired, steps to take if you resign or are fired, and how to enforce your on-the-job rights. It reveals how companies frequently violate state and federal laws when they terminate employees, when to get a lawyer, when you don't need one, and how to fight back if you are exploited. Valuable demand letters are included to protect your rights, together with many forms, checklists, a glossary, and an index. Easy to use, practical, and up to date, The Employee Rights Handbook provides all the essential information employees need to protect themselves regardless of the job or industry in which they work.
