Employment Law from an Employer PerspectiveAn employer must be cognizant of state and federal laws that govern employee hiring, compensation, treatment and termination. If you are an employer facing legal issues in any aspect of employment, consult an employment law attorney at our firm for guidance. Anti-Discrimination LawsMany legal matters arise in the hiring of new employees. Of course, one of the most important areas of concern is to ensure that all hiring decisions are made for legitimate, job-related reasons not involving illegal discrimination. Broadly, federal law forbids discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, military service or veteran status, union affiliation or citizenship. Your state and local laws may add protection to other classifications, such as sexual orientation. To show compliance with anti-discrimination laws, the reasons for hiring or rejecting a job candidate should be well documented. HiringEmployers must comply with a myriad of federal and state hiring laws. If you are an employer, the counsel of a knowledgeable employment law attorney at our firm can help you proceed safely through the hiring process. CompensationIf your business has employees, it is in your best interest to retain an experienced and skilled employment law attorney. Federal and state employment laws concerning wages and overtime are complex and impose significant responsibility on employers. Family and Medical LeaveFederal and some state laws provide certain employees with rights to take leaves from work during specific life events. Employers must understand the details of these legal leave requirements to ensure proper application to eligible employees. For assistance with legally mandated employment-leave issues, consult a knowledgeable employment lawyer at our firm. TerminationAn employer must proceed cautiously when terminating an employee from his or her job. An employment law attorney from our firm can advise you about the impact of federal and state laws, as well as employment contracts and collective-bargaining agreements, on employee discharge.
