Labor & Employment Law

Labor & Employment Law

Today, employers are tasked with having proper on boarding procedures, creating job descriptions, ensuring raises and pay standards meet certain criteria, while also being precluded from unduly restricting an employee’s right to communicate.

Because the laws that apply to the labor and employment relationship are found at all levels of government—federal, state, county and even city—making sense of these oftentimes conflicting requirements is more of a challenge than ever for today's employers.
