Employment Counseling – Foley & Mansfield

Employment Counseling

Foley & Mansfield employment lawyers represent and counsel small, medium and large employers, nonprofits, municipalities and government agencies to establish “best practices” to ensure compliance with continually evolving employment laws.

Our attorneys work closely with human resources personnel, supervisors, and business owners on a variety of activities aimed at complying with a myriad of typically confusing and contradictory state and federal laws, as well as avoiding or reducing employment-related claims. We will help you draft, review, and update HR policies and procedures, provide legally mandated employment training, and review all employment practices to provide you with valuable guidance.

We will work with you to prevent problems before they happen by assisting with the following:

Employee handbooks and personnel policies
Employment contracts, separation agreements and releases
Discrimination and harassment
Termination
Wage and hour law compliance
ADA – Americans With Disabilities Act
FMLA – Family Medical Leave Act and state leave laws
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
EEO – Equal Employment Opportunity
FLSA – Fair Labor Standards Act
Labor management relations
