Frequently asked questions

Employment law obligations depend on your location, industry, number of employees, and whether workers are employees or independent contractors. Federal laws like FLSA, Title VII, ADA, and FMLA set minimum standards, while state and local laws often impose additional requirements.

Key strategies include maintaining compliant policies and handbooks, providing regular manager training, conducting consistent documentation practices, performing thorough investigations of complaints, and obtaining legal review before termination decisions.

Classification depends on the degree of control, economic dependence, and other factors under applicable federal and state tests. Misclassification exposes employers to liability for unpaid taxes, benefits, overtime, and penalties.

Engage counsel before making significant employment decisions, when facing agency complaints or litigation, during policy development, for executive hiring or separation, during workforce reductions, and when new legal requirements take effect.

Essential policies include at-will employment statements, anti-discrimination and harassment policies, leave policies, wage and hour practices, disciplinary procedures, and technology use guidelines. Handbooks should be regularly reviewed to ensure legal compliance.
