Employee Relations and Workplace Management

Running a business is tough in this regulatory environment. The employer/employee relationship has strict rules that apply to even the smallest company and recently the enactment of complex new laws and the issuance of far-reaching court decisions is increasing litigation. Additionally, oversight and enforcement is becoming more commonplace, making it that much more critical that the advice and guidance you receive be prompt and accurate. We take a preventative approach in counseling clients on terminations, accommodations and other compliance items to minimize conflicts in the workplace that may lead to costly litigation.
