Keeping current on employment law issues is getting more and more difficult for employers. We strive to be proactive and
inform our clients of changes in the law before an issue arises. Our advice practice includes telephone advice, opinion letters,
responses to administrative agencies and attorneys threatening legal action, preventative workplace audits, employment and
termination agreements, employee handbooks and policies, and other services.
Workplace investigations present some of the most important and contradictory issues in employment law. Employers can
avoid legal liability for wrongful termination by conducting objectively reasonable and good faith investigations into the
allegations of misconduct before making the decision to terminate an employee. ELC provides comprehensive investigation services
of workplace misconduct by employees. We can also provide advice and direction to employers pursuing their own investigations.
ELC's attorneys are experienced in the legal requirements and consequences of workplace investigations and are able to assist
employers in sensitive or potentially explosive situations.
Employers who train employees on workplace legal issues, particularly harassment and violence, will have legal defenses
that are not otherwise available. Employee and management training also makes good sense because it improves employees relationships,
attitudes and awareness of standards and expectations.
ELC training courses include: Sexual and Other Prohibited Harassment, Workplace Violence Prevention and Responses, Employee
Evaluations, Discipline and Terminations, Workers' Compensation Claim Management, Union Avoidance, Managing in a Union Environment,
Employee Leave Laws, Wage and Hour Issues, Employment Agreements and Policies, Electronic Issues in the Workplace and Employment
Law Updates. We also have the capacity to create courses specific to an employer's workplace or concerns. Our courses address
employee responsibilities as well as employee rights and are tailored to both management and nonmanagement employees. We
address employer goals, expectations and responsibilities and give practical recommendations and advice on how to manage effectively
and lawfully.
