Summary: Historically, women have had to contend with harassment, discrimination, and unequal treatment on the job. Addressing these concerns, attorney Sack (The Lifetime Legal Guide, LJ 8/96) aims to give women information on their employment rights and the tools to use those rights to protect themselves. From the interview to termination of employment, he gives solid advice on handling a variety of situations and fully explains the rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees regarding such timely topics as pre-employment testing, illegal interview questions, access to employment records, or retaliatory acts by employers. Numerous checklists and sample letters may help readers state a claim for discrimination, draft a letter of resignation, create a consulting agreement, or conduct a sexual harassment investigation. A useful, solidly conceived work; recommended for most public libraries.
