Employment
It is imperative for employers to keep up-to-date with the often-changing requirements created by a number of federal and state statutes and prospectively ensure that they are in compliance with a myriad of governmental regulations. Attorneys at Waters, Tyler, Hofmann & Scott, LLC have assisted clients, primarily businesses and hospitals, with various human resource issues, including formulating thorough and effective employment manuals, and establishing and implementing policies and procedures for hiring, retention, review and termination of employees.
In addition, our attorneys assist clients in complying with regulatory requirements established by State and Federal laws and regulations, including:
- Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act;
- the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act;
- the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC);
- the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA);
- the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA);
- the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA);
- the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA);
- the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); and
- the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).
Unfortunately, issues sometimes arise in the employer-employee relationship which require outside assistance and intervention. We have represented employers in Wage and Hour disputes, EEOC matters, wrongful termination suits, breach of contract actions and injunction proceedings arising out of non-compete agreements. Our litigation attorneys have extensive experience in both state and federal court. We can also assist with administrative proceedings and hearings. Often, prompt action is necessary to respond to a lawsuit or administrative action. If your business has been notified of an employment-related complaint, please contact us to see how we may be of help.
