Effective planning and ongoing monitoring can protect your business

To effectively protect your business, it is important to have sound employment policies in place. You must have consistent policies and practices, effective training of all management personnel, and the policies must be applied to all employees equally to prevent future allegations of unlawful discrimination.

We can help you develop effective policies to protect your business interests, and we can prepare employee handbooks to effectively convey these policies. These handbooks should cover a range of matters that could become legal issues — such as policies on attendance, relationships between employees, and procedures for working overtime.

True protection requires more than just the creation of employment policies, though. You must also ensure that your employees are following these policies. Managers must understand their responsibilities under the policies, so that everyone behaves appropriately. We can help you train your managers and employees so that they are not violating employment laws and putting your company at risk.

Helping you keep unions out of the workplace

Employers cannot prevent employees from unionizing, but there are several steps employers can take to limit the likelihood of unionization. First and foremost, happy employees are less inclined to campaign for unions; policies that cultivate a happy workplace can be an effective tool to minimize the risk of unionization. Equally important though, certain employment policies can reduce the likelihood of unionization. We can help you develop appropriate policies.

Whether you need an attorney to review employment agreements or assistance drafting employee handbooks, we can effectively represent you. Contact our offices today to schedule a confidential consultation with a skilled employment law attorney.
