The Employer Bill of Rights: A Manager's Guide to Workplace Law is
a practical handbook designed to help managers and business owners
navigate the ever-changing maze of labor and employment laws,
rules, and regulations. Many people believe that in the
employer/employee relationship, the employer holds the cards. The
reality, however, is that American employees are not at a lack for
workplace rights. A veritable alphabet soup of laws protect
employees in the workplace--Title VII (prohibits discrimination
based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin), PDA
(prohibits pregnancy discrimination), ADEA (prohibits age
discrimination), ADA and ADAAA (prohibit disability
discrimination), USERRA (protects returning veterans), FMLA
(permits family and medical leave), FLSA (regulates minimum wage,
overtime, and child labor), and many others. All these laws lead
managers to become fearful of making personnel decisions that
might--and sometimes do--result in expensive lawsuits. But
employers don't need to act, or react, in fear.This book shows
managers and owners how to assert their rights to protect their
investment in people, operations, facilities, and other assets to
ensure a more productive and profitable workplace. The Employer

in navigating choppy personnel waters. It instructs employers on
the ins and outs of the various laws. It provides employers with

decisions free from the fear of litigation. No personnel decision
