We provide advice and counsel to employers who seek proactively to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws governing equal employment opportunity, wages and hours, employee benefits, family and medical leave, workplace safety, and immigration compliance. This includes developing, reviewing, revising, and monitoring company policies and procedures; providing regular workplace trainings for management, employees, and human resources and communications teams so that lawful and best practices can be implemented and sustained; and conducting internal investigations, departmental surveys, and exit interviews. We routinely monitor developments in the law that apply to our clients' workplaces and are known for providing clear counsel and working with employers to navigate workplace dynamics thoughtfully and carefully.
Policies, Procedures, Handbooks
We develop, review, revise, and monitor company policies, procedures, and handbooks to ensure that they comply with federal, state, and local equal employment opportunity, wage and hour, employee benefits, family and medical leave, workplace safety, and immigration compliance laws. The implementation of comprehensive policies lays the foundation for a smoothly-functioning workplace and reduces litigation risk.
Training for Management, Employees, Human Resources, and Communications Teams
We provide in-house training for management, employees, human resources, and communications teams to help implement and maintain best practices in support of company policies. This helps reduce inadvertent and intentional violations of company policies, helps to set expectations for conduct in the workplace, supports legal defenses in the event of litigation, and reduces the overall cost and distraction that arise when workplace policies are not followed.
Internal Investigations, Departmental Surveys, and Exit Interviews
We conduct investigations for employers when employees complain internally of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in an effort to resolve these issues before they escalate further and address any non-compliance that may exist with regard to company policies. We conduct departmental surveys when a department or group of employees is not functioning properly or when an unusual number of complaints are coming from a particular department. We conduct exit interviews to help measure satisfaction and turnover. In each of these instances, we provide unbiased written reports that help our clients make informed decisions about their workplace and workforce.
