New Orleans Employment Lawyer

EMPLOYMENT LAW 

A lawyer can assist a small business with employment law in several ways: 

• Creating Employment Policies and Handbooks: A lawyer can help a small business create employment policies that are compliant with federal, state, and local laws. These policies can include anti-discrimination policies, wage and hour policies, leave policies, and more. Additionally, a lawyer can help create an employee handbook that clearly communicates these policies to employees. 
• Drafting Employment Contracts: A lawyer can assist in drafting employment contracts that protect the business and ensure compliance with employment laws. This can include non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), non-compete agreements, and independent contractor agreements. 
• Training: A lawyer can provide training to managers and employees on employment law issues, such as sexual harassment, discrimination, and wage and hour laws. This can help prevent legal issues from arising in the first place. 
• Dispute Resolution: If a dispute arises with an employee, a lawyer can assist with resolving it. This could include negotiating a settlement, representing the business in court, or guiding the business through an arbitration or mediation process. 
• Compliance Audits: A lawyer can conduct a compliance audit to ensure that the business is following all applicable employment laws. This can help prevent costly lawsuits and penalties. 
• Guidance on Hiring and Firing: A lawyer can provide guidance on best practices for hiring and firing employees to avoid potential legal pitfalls. 
• Stay Updated with Law Changes: Employment laws change frequently. A lawyer can help a business stay updated with these changes and ensure that the business’s practices and policies are compliant with the latest laws.
