Employment Legal Services

Employment law consists of both federal and state laws as well as subjects that regulate relationships between employees and employers. For employees, employment law promotes safety and health. It also prevents discrimination and disruption of work due to disputes between management and labor.

Employment law includes labor relations, worker’s compensation, employee benefits, employment discrimination, immigration, minimum wage and hour, wrongful termination, and Social Security. One example of employment law is Title VII, which forbids employment discrimination based on the religion, national origin, gender, color, or race of a person. Employers shouldn’t consider these aspects when firing, compensating, hiring, or promoting an employee.

The Fair Labor Standards Act is another example of employment law. The federal legislation established child labor laws and a minimum hourly wage for specific industries. The FLSA was implemented during the Great Depression when employees were subjected to harsh working conditions, unjust pay, and long hours.

Some employment laws do not bound employers who have less than a specific number of workers. For instance, businesses with less than 50 employees are not covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Employment lawyers usually represent either employees or employers. Lawyers who represent employees may help them negotiate settlements or file a lawsuit against their employer.

Employee Policy Handbook

Regardless of the size of your business, having an employee handbook that addresses the company’s policies and procedures can be one of the most valuable business documents you will create and use. An employee handbook is the foundation of your relationship with your employees, but it is also the foundation of a risk reduction strategy for employers who want to avoid employment-related litigation.

At Kameli Law, we help businesses of all kinds and sizes draft and adopt employee handbooks and other policies that reflect the true intentions of the employer and reduce legal liability.
