Book Description
As the private practice law firm enters an increasingly competitive environment, firms must provide a wide variety of collateral services to clients to retain current business and to attract new clients. Because the law firm frequently has more knowledge than anyone else with respect to a client's financial status, tax assistance is a logical choice in terms of revenue generating services that can be offered to clients at a cost effective rate. Either an attorney or a paralegal can often provide tax assistance service. Additionally, because smaller firms often require support staff to function in dual roles, it is a perfect fit for the qualified paralegal to assist in basic accounting functions for the firm. This can be a much more cost-effective use of the paralegal's time and salary than to use the paralegal in a strictly clerical role. Accounting and Tax Principles for Legal Professionals will provide paralegal and law students with marketable skills to help assist in the financial management of the firm they join and to market these services to current and prospective clients.

Book Description
Many lawyers, especially those dealing with commercial matters, need to understand accounting yet feel on shaky ground in the area. This book is written specifically for them. It breaks down and makes clear basic concepts (such as the difference between profit and cash flow), the accounting profession and the legal and regulatory framework within which accounting operates. The relevant provisions of the Companies Act 1985 are discussed at some length. Holgate explains generally accepted accounting principles in the UK (GAAP), the trend towards global harmonisation and the role of international accounting standards. He then deals with specific areas such as group accounts, acquisitions, tax, leases, pensions, financial instruments, and realised profits, focusing in each case on those aspects that are likely to confront lawyers in their work. This book will appeal to the general practitioner as well as to lawyers working in corporate, commercial, and tax law.

Book Description
Violence in the workplace has risen to "epidemic" proportions according to the Centers of Disease Control. In this volume, Dr. Marc McElhaney, a specialist in workplace violence, presents a comprehensive guide that no manager can do without when having to prepare for these potentially dangerous and often disruptive events. These are situations that often seem to explode in the workplace without warning, when in fact, they have often long incubated outside the manager's awareness. Utilizing a risk management approach that focuses on the process of how these situations evolve, as opposed to an oversimplified presentation of "profiles", will provide the manager with the needed tools to prevent and effectively intervene, to ensure a safe and cost-effective resolution. This book takes a comprehensive view that covers the broad range of aggression control strategies that an organization can utilize, from the fundamental building blocks of a primary prevention program to specific techniques that the manager can use to defuse and stabilize situations that are already threatening to explode. In between, the author presents a step-by-step description of the assessment and intervention process that should occur when and if an organization is faced with a potentially dangerous set of circumstances. Specific high-risk situations, such as employee termination, are discussed in detail, along with strategies that Dr. McElhaney has found to be particularly effective when having to stabilize, control and ultimately ensure a safe and long-lasting conclusion. Utilizing an approach that combines his knowledge and experience from the fields of threat assessment, risk management, conflict resolution and crisis negotiation, the author focuses on an approach that not only addresses the organization's immediate needs, but which also strives for a resolution and management plan that addresses long-term safety concerns.

Aggression In The Workplace.......2004-12-30
In today's world, "workplace violence" has become more convoluted as to what that covers as well as what is expected of an employer to deal with and prevent such behaviors. While there can be no one best "program" or "check-off" list, there are established and mostly "common-sense" ways of addressing these behaviors. Dr. McElhaney has managed to simplify these explanations and has thus developed a critical workbook that explains appropriate ways to respond to inappropriate behaviors as well as prevent them.
He guides you effectively through pre-employment screening, training issues, grievances, disciplinary and termination procedures - thus making this a complete manual for managing the high-risk employee. Anyone who is worried about their liability in dealing with employees should make this a "must-buy" book for future reference and guidance on how to deal with all types of aggressive behavior in the workplace.
An effective and important look at workpace behaviors........2004-12-22
Dr. McElhaney has provide any employer with much more than a reference about worker behavior...this book is like a response guide and a valuable tool in understanding and effectively responding to potential workplace aggression.
I can not reccomend this book enough to you if you are an employer, or work in a role for an employer where you may interface with potentially aggressive workers.
Buy this book....you won't be sorry.

Book Description
Workplace violence is one of today's most serious occupational hazards. This practical guide offers valuable information on how to systematically design and implement workplace prevention programmes and policies. It approaches the issue from two fronts -- first, it demonstrates how workplace violence can be prevented by examining ways in which organizations and groups are handling the problem. It reviews an array of existing guidelines and policies developed by governments, trade unions, special study groups, workplace violence experts, employers' groups and specific industries, and generates a useful survey of best practice strategies.
Secondly, the guide outlines in detail a reliable and effective methodology for developing workplace violence prevention and response programmes. Every worker deserves to work in a safe and secure environment, and violence should not be accepted as part of any job. This book presents concrete guidance for combating violence in the workplace while also providing a wider understanding of the factors and conditions which contribute to it.

Violence at Work by Joseph A. Kinney.......2000-03-22
This is the most thoughtful and comprehensive book on non-robbery violence at work. The book is based on substantial research and investigation into more than 200 cases. Other books in this category simply are not based upon this type of indepth research and analysis. More importantly, the book also provides a comprehensive set of recommendations for policy makers and administrators who are interested in addressing this phenomenon in a meaningful way. Not only does the author have a comprehensive insight into this problem, but clearly understands the best methods for preventing violence.
Book Description
The people on the front lineùthose responsible for the safety and health of the workplace-understand the costs of threats, assaults, and fear on the morale and productivity of their employees. They also understand the costs of negative publicity, bad public relations, and litigation on the survival of their enterprises. Violence in the workplace, whether it comes from the outside or originates from within, is a frightening prospect. How can it be prevented? Through real-world cases, Preventing Workplace Violence provides a detailed look at how traditional tools for occupational health and safety, discipline, and employee relations are inadequate and inappropriate in responding to the problem of workplace violence. In fact, the methods and approaches commonly in use actually worsen the problem in some cases. This book summarizes the most up-to-date learning in this area and offers practical guidance and recommendations for assessing the risk of violence, steps for preventing workplace violence, and a thorough discussion of employee rights and employer responsibilities. Highly recommended for employers, managers, union leaders, attorneys, consultants, and others who confront the issue of violence in the workplace. Preventing Workplace Violence will be invaluable to scholars and professionals in management, organizational studies, human resources, interpersonal violence, gender studies, industrial psychology, public administration, social psychology, sociology of work, social work, clinical and counseling psychology, business psychology, and organizational behavior.
Customer Reviews:
This is the book to buy.......2000-07-13
As a forensic psychologist who conducts threat assessments and fitness-for-duty evaluations of potentially violent employees, I found Dr. Braverman's book to be the most informative, readable, and practical text available. I recommend it highly to HR professionals, Occupational Health physicians and nurses, employment lawyers (don't be offended by some of Dr. Braverman's constructive criticism of too-conservative corporate counsel!), Employee Assistance professionals, union officials, security officers, anyone who worries about a co-worker's potential for violence, and anyone who has been accused of threatening violence on the job. If more employers took Dr. Braverman's advice, workplace homicides and other forms of violence (e.g., assualts, harassment, hostile work environment, threats, intimidation) would decrease, employee stress would diminish, and worker productivity would improve.
A very helpful guide.......2000-05-17
This is the best book on this topic I have seen. As the owner of a mid-sized company, I run into violence, threat and harassment situations almost weekly. The book is intelligent, has useful case studies, and concise guidelines on how to develop and implement policy. The author knows his stuff and has a humane, reasonable approach to these tricky issues.

Book Description
Understanding and Preventing Workplace Retaliation helps employers understand, recognize and effectively deal with incidents of retaliation -- or potential retaliation -- in the workplace.
Workplace retaliation has become one of the most troublesome legal issues for employers. The number of workplace retaliation claims filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has skyrocketed -- 20,000 retaliation charges were lodged in 1999 -- and the risks to employers for retaliation claims include EEOC investigations and lawsuits. One employee, for example, was awarded $81 million by a jury after she was shuffled from job to job after complaining about sexual discrimination.
Written by Patricia A. Wise, a veteran employment attorney and frequent lecturer and trainer to employer groups, Understanding and Preventing Workplace Retaliation describes the many forms retaliation can take and provides practical advice for safeguarding against incidents.
This 120-page softbound book addresses such issues as:
* what is retaliation -- and what are the required elements of a retaliation claim;
* how routine personnel practices, such as giving references, conducting job interviews and maintaining personnel files, can lead to employer liability for retaliation;
* how to fairly discipline employees without risking charges of retaliation; and
* what precautions employers should take to avoid the risk of retaliation when an employee complains about race, sex, disability or other prohibited discrimination.
The resource also highlights significant court decisions, providing real-life examples of where employers acted prudently and where they failed to, and offers sample anti-retaliation policy language.
