Employment
The best way to avoid an employment crisis is through prevention. We provide day-to-day advice on a range of employment matters: the discipline and discharge of employees, review and preparation of employee handbooks and policy manuals and negotiation of employment contracts and separation agreements. Clients often request advice on issues such as immigration law, affirmative action programs, and compliance requirements. Tailored training sessions on issues such as drug and alcohol testing, sexual harassment, discrimination, and progressive discipline, meet client needs by raising employee and management awareness through education.
