Product Description
The fact is that nearly 60% of all women in the workplace have been victims of sexual harassment. With employment-related complaints making up a disproportionately high percentage of lawsuits filed today, it's time to draw the line on sexual harassment. Currently fewer than half of all businesses have a sexual harassment policy in place leaving them open to costly, yet preventable legal action. Although establishing such a policy seems like a simple procedure, it's not. Many employees don't recognize what comments and actions can be classified as harassment. Employers can be held liable not only for the actions of employees, but also for the actions of any person an employee must deal with including vendors and clients. This one-of-a-kind guide tells you exactly where and how to draw the line so that employees will respect and follow company policy in any work-related situation. Draw The Line will help you:
* Explain legal requirements in clear language
* Use sample sexual harassment policy guidelines, complaint forms and disciplinary letters
* Learn to recognize remarks and actions that are legally actionable
* Use cost-effective solutions if a suit is filed

 Insultingly basic, no new information October 25, 2003
I read this book with high hopes of learning something about avoiding sexual harassment in the workplace I provide. I was shocked to learn this was written by a lawyer - it was badly organized and so basic as to be at best laughable, and at worse insulting! I can only guess that the glowing customer reviews must have been written by Ms. Lynch herself! I want my money back, please!!
 Excellent reference manual! January 14, 2000

I found "Draw the Line" to be an excellent reference for basic questions and concerns regarding sexual harassment avoidance in a small business. It helped me tremendously in defining rules and boundaries within my business. The book speaks clearly and definitively about potential problem situations. It approaches the topic of sexual harassment from a legal prevention standpoint. This book is not about what one does after a sexual harassment situation has occurred, but is rather about how to avoid ever getting into a legal bind over a thoughtless comment. It discusses in detail the differences between a harmless joke or comment, and a comment that might lead to legal action. This book is written for any average business owner, and does not get bogged down in difficult legal terms and concepts. It's easy and entertaining to read, and I would recommend it to anyone having questions about sexual harassment issues in their business.
Did not like the book January 6, 1999

I thought the book was very outdated and did not contain any of the "real" information I was looking for.
