Employment Law

Employers juggle many balls in the air each day.  We can help you develop strategies for managing the myriad of challenges you regularly face, such as:

• Hiring, Performance Management and Corrective Action, and Discharge
• Compliance with Disability and Drug Testing Laws, Military Service Member Rights, Workplace Leave Laws and similar state laws
• Wage and Hour Questions
• Reductions in Staff
• Discrimination Issues
• Managing Leaves and Absenteeism Issues
• Drafting and Implementing Employee Policies
• Drafting and Implementing Employment Agreements and Severance Programs
• Enforcing Contracts to Protect Your Intellectual Property and Prevent Unfair Competition

Similarly, employees (particularly executives) need good counsel on many issues related to their employment.  We stand at the ready to assist with:

·   Negotiating Executive Compensation

·   Negotiating Employment and Severance Agreements

·   Non-Compete Issues

·   Shareholder Issues

·   Understanding Your Rights and Obligations at Work

All workplaces need workshops to ensure compliance with the law, enhance morale and facilitate optimal performance.  We can assist with training focused on a wide variety of important and timely human capital issues, including:

• Avoiding Harassment, Discrimination and Retaliation in the Workplace
• Supervisor and Manager education, including Documenting Performance, and Effective Management Techniques
• Diversity
• Effective Management of Requests for Reasonable Accommodations, Working with the Disabled Employee, and Managing Leaves of Absence

We utilize a wide array of resources when we facilitate workshops, including the best respectful workplace/avoiding harassment, discrimination and retaliation product on the market, our own RESPECT EFFECT^TM.
