The Manager’s Pocket Legal Guide to the Workplace
Bob Diforio of D4EO Literary Agency is seeking a lawyer or someone with extensive training in employment law to write:
The Manager’s Pocket Legal Guide to the Workplace
For a trade book publisher.
Brief description:
As the workforce and workplace change, so too does the myriad of laws that govern their conduct. Thousands upon thousands of statues—both federal and state—are on the books to tell employers and employees what they can and can’t do or say on the job.
This book is a handy guide for managers who want quick reference to some of the most basic legal issues that arise every day at work.
- Can you ask a prospective employee if he’s married?
- Can you compliment an employee on her looks or dress?
- Can you deny an employee’s request for time off to celebrate his religious holidays?
- Can an employee charge sexual harassment even if the behavior in question is not directed at her?
This book aims to give down-and-dirty answers to these and other questions. It’s the well-thumbed book every middle manager should have on his or her desk.
