Employment Forms and Procedures
Our employment lawyers devise forms and procedures for employers to use in all circumstances with their employees, including application and hiring forms, progressive discipline and discharge documents, benefit change announcements, and postings designed to be displayed in the workplace.
Separation from Employment
We advise employers on matters such as constructive discharge, termination for cause, retirement benefits, severance agreements, continuation of benefits after separation (COBRA), and much more.
At-will Employees
We counsel employers on the benefits and disadvantages of hiring at-will employees, i.e., employees without an implied or actual contractual agreement.
Wages and Benefits Plans
Our New York employment law attorneys advise employers about wage and benefit issues, including federal and state minimum wage thresholds, cafeteria benefit plans, employee assistance programs, stock options, equal pay questions, paid and unpaid leave, pension plans (ERISA), and 401K plans.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
We ensure that, when required, employee leave policies are in compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Compensation, Minimum Wage, and Overtime Pay
Our employment attorneys educate employers about the implications of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and applicable state standards, which address minimum wage, overtime pay, and general employee compensation issues.
Discrimination Claims
We assist employers in developing policies and practices to successfully defend against claims of unlawful discrimination. We also defend against claims of harassment, including sexual harassment, whether before an agency such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the New York State Division of Human Rights (SDHR) or in court.
