Employment Law
Employment law deals
with the legal relationship between employers and
employees, and claims that arise out of that
relationship, such as wage & hour matters, wrongful
discharge, and employment discrimination. For those
employees covered by a collective bargaining
agreement, typically “labor law” applies.
Worden Thane P.C. has a rich history of advising
employers in all aspects of the employment
relationship, including: drafting and reviewing
personnel manuals / employee handbooks, and other
policies and procedures; advising employers on
discipline and discharge matters; preparing
employment agreements, confidentiality policies,
non-competition and non-solicitations covenants, and
separation agreements and releases. We have
significant experience in helping employers chart
the often confusing waters of individual employee
rights, such as employee privacy; email, voice mail,
telephone, and internet use monitoring; drug and
alcohol testing, threats of violence in the
workplace, and lawful off-duty conduct.
We try to help our employer-clients avoid lawsuits,
but when necessary, we have defended employers in
various litigation and alternative dispute
resolution matters. We work aggressively to resolve
the dispute successfully and efficiently.
Employers require certainty in staffing and
employment decisions. We educate our clients on the
rights and duties imposed by state and federal law,
and the costs of litigating employment disputes. We
understand that our client’s purpose is to transact
business, not engage in lawsuits.
