Author's Note
The information in this book is an attempt to reduce complex and confusing law to practical general strategies for employers to follow. These strategies are meant to serve as helpful guidelines - concepts to think about - when you experience problems with your employees. They are not intended as legal advice per se, because laws vary considerably throughout the fifty states and the law can be interpreted differently depending upon the particular facts of each case. Thus it is important to consult experienced counsel regarding the applicability of any strategy or point of information contained herein.
Additionally, this publication is sold with the understanding that the publisher is not engaged in rendering legal, accounting, or other professional services. If legal advice or other expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional must be sought.
Finally, fictitious names have been used throughout the work where appropriate and any similarity to actual persons, places or events is purely coincidental.
