Employment Counseling
Hiring, termination, leaves of absence, recruitment, discipline – there are a myriad of laws regulating the employee-employer relationship. Remaining compliant requires an understanding of the constantly evolving maze of federal, state, and local laws.
In order to effectively counsel you and your company on day-to-day personnel, compliance, and regulatory issues, we must first get to know you.
We take the time understand your business and goals. Your company’s cultural realities, tolerance for risk, budget, and operational capabilities are just a few of the contributing factors that inform how we support you.
Knowledge is power
The more we know, the better off you will be. Understanding your company will allow us to help you navigate the employment law landscape efficiently and comprehensively. We keep you updated on the ever-changing and increasingly complex state and federal employment laws and regulations, thus enabling you to do what you do best: focus on your core business.
