Employment & Labor Practice Areas

Our experienced attorneys can help you with the following aspects of employment and labor management.

Employment Policies

The policies you have in place for managing employment and hiring should be in strict compliance with both federal and state standards. Key areas include labor and wages, drug testing, family and medical leave, and disciplinary procedures.

Labor Management

Labor and employee relations management can get complex with issues such as union avoidance, strike contingency planning, contract negotiations, and so forth.

Termination

Firing and layoffs need to be carried out properly and fairly so as to avoid violations of strict federal standards or accusations of wrongful discharge. Also, in the event that you need to close facilities or relocate workers, you’ll have to take pertinent laws into account when doing so.

Employment Contracts

Employment contracts involve multiple components, many of which must comply with federal and state laws. Precision and proper construction are key to making sure these contracts are effective.

Compliance

Numerous laws govern employment and labor and complying with them all can seem overwhelming for some businesses. Laws such as OSHA, FLSA, ADA, and others all have strict requirements that must be observed with the utmost care.

Litigation & ADR

In the event of an employment/labor-related dispute, you’ll need solid legal representation and counsel on your side. Alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration or mediation, can help resolve issues without the lengthy process of going to court. However, in some cases, litigation is unavoidable.
