EMPLOYERS’ BEST PRACTICES

• A former employee is claiming our company owes him overtime – do we have to pay?
• An employee is threatening to take her clients to a competitor if we don’t give her a raise – can she do that?
• Our company doesn’t have many employees – what federal and state employment laws do we have to follow?
• Do we need an employee handbook?
• An employee asks for too much leave – do we have to give it to her?
• How can I minimize the risk of a problem employee suing us if we fire her?
• What risks do we face if we litigate against a current or former employee?
