libel and slander for employees aren't different than from others; however you may have other forms of claims and I would suggest you contact a member of the Az Trial Lawyers Assn that handles employment issues--they represent employees and give free consultations.

that if anything happened to her car I would have to pay for the repairs. Then, her granddaughter totaled
the car, who is liable? My sister-in-law rents a room from me for $250.00 a month ,plus 50.00 for the tv, but
ever since the accident she hasn't paid me a dime, what can I do?

Well, you signed so that her grandaughter could drive the car, so it's binding on you. Yes, you can give her a notice to quit for nonpayment, and she can ask you to pay for the car now.Either way you will be paying her.
