Employment Discrimination

There are many ways an employer can discriminate against an employee. Being careful is not enough. As a business owner, you need to be informed of the employment laws that affect you and your employees.

Sexual Harassment

There are typically two types of sexual harassment, quid pro quo (an exchange of sex or sexual favors for preferential treatment) or a hostile work environment. A hostile work environment creates a situation where employees are unable to do their work effectively due to the sexual nature.

Wage and Hour Claims

Employees have a right to be paid for the entire time they are working. They are also entitled to regular breaks. We work with you to make sure that you are paying your employees correctly and not running afoul of wage and hour laws.

Medical Leave/Accommodation

Employees are entitled to medical leave under certain federal and state-mandated laws. Make sure that you are not inadvertently or intentionally opening your business up to lawsuits by failing to provide the necessary leave.

Terminating Employees

It is vital that you adequately document employees’ misconduct so that if it is necessary to terminate them, your business is not sued for wrongful termination.

Severance Agreements

It is crucial for business when terminating an employee that they put in writing the terms of their severance agreement. Think Legal, P.C. will help you negotiate the terms, so you rest easy knowing it was done correctly and in your best interest.
