Employment Law
Our employment law group
has experience with a wide array of employment issues, both in resolving and
litigating employment disputes and in the use of "preventive law" to help
employers avoid those disputes
preventive measures
We help clients adopt and
revise employee manuals and policies covering issues such as drug testing,
electronic communications, AIDS, and privacy issues. We also assist business
owners and human resource managers by guiding them through issues regarding
hiring practices, employee reviews, discipline, compensation, overtime, and
terminations.
employment disputes
Even the most effective
prevention measures cannot totally inoculate employers from controversy,
disputes and litigation. When employment disputes arise, we aggressively
represent and protect employers in resolving and litigating employee claims,
including:
-
claims of
wrongful termination, sexual harassment, etc.;
-
proceedings before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the Civil
Rights Division of the Arizona Attorney General's Office;
-
proceedings before other regulatory bodies that govern employment matters, such
as the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA, AOSA and NLRB; and
-
employment claims related to state and federal legislation, such as Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act and the:
-
Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA)
-
Age
Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
-
Pregnancy
Discrimination Act
-
Fair
Labor Standards Act
-
Family
Medical Leave Act
-
