The Legal Solutions Group understands employment and labor law. Every business knows its employees are vital to a successful operation. While employees should be valued as assets—sharing common values with its employers’ brand and representing its interests to customers—sometimes work relationships turn into negative situations. While it would be great to avoid these challenges, sometimes they result in permanent damage and costly lawsuits.

Before parties find themselves in a troublesome situation, its best to plan ahead and establish corporate guidelines ensuring agreements are drafted by an experienced business lawyer and signed to protect both the employee and employer. The goal should always be to reduce exposure and risk by being proactive.

Businesses can protect themselves and their employees by having employment contracts and corporate policies, including:

• Employment Agreements
• Wages and Benefits
• Non Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
• Non-compete Agreements
• Employer Guidelines/Handbook
• Severance Agreements
• Comprehensive Employment Policies and Procedures
• Independent Contractor Agreements
• Employee’s duties and job description compliance review
