Human Resources Counseling and Administration
Often employees are simply not aware of the prevailing employment laws or how to deal with certain work situations. To help our clients reduce their risk of being sued based on a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge, we provide supervisory training seminars and materials to teach and advise personnel about the legal aspects of their jobs. We have a “help desk” to assist human resources personnel with making day to day employment decisions that involve or may implicate state and federal laws. Being proactive helps our clients avoid litigation and statutory violations before incurring devastating fines, costs and being distracted from core business concerns. Kotz Sangster attorneys provide counseling and administration in the following areas:
- Handbooks, policies and procedures
- Layoffs/reductions in force
- Employment agreements
- Non-compete agreements
- Confidentiality and trade secret agreements
- Employee benefits and executive compensation
- Affirmative Action plans
- In-service training
- Human resources audits
- FMLA compliance
- Workplace investigations
