Employment Law advice covers a variety of issues that impact both employees and employers. These issues include issues related to workers’ compensation, wrongful termination, family and medical leave, noncompetition agreements, and unemployment benefits. Additionally, employees may be able to claim damages due to workplace discrimination such as race, religion, age, gender, and pregnancy.
In addition to providing guidance on employee matters, Employment lawyers can help employers with compliance issues. For example, many workplaces have multiple policies and procedures that must be followed in order to comply with state and federal laws. A lawyer can provide a regular review of these policies and ensure that they are in compliance.
An employer might also hire an attorney to draft and review employee handbooks and employment contracts, assist with wage laws, or represent them before the EEOC or other government agencies when an employee has a complaint or a potential claim. Finally, an Employment attorney can act as a communication middleman for employees and employers and ensure that all communications are accurate and fair.
