Frequently asked questions

What are the most common reasons to consult an employment attorney?

People reach out to employment attorneys for help with wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, unpaid wages, employment contract issues, or HR compliance advice.

How can Aprio Legal help employers stay compliant with labor laws?

We offer tailored guidance, employee handbook reviews, compliance checkups, counsel on wage and hour laws, FMLA, and independent contractor classification.

What should I include in an employee handbook?

A solid handbook should outline your company’s policies on hiring, conduct, leave, termination, and dispute resolution. It should be customized to reflect current laws and your business operations.

How do I handle a wrongful termination complaint?

Speak to an employment attorney promptly. For employers, make sure to review documentation and policies.

Employees, on the other hand, should have a clear understanding of whether termination violated employment laws or contracts.

What are my legal options if I’m accused of a workplace discrimination?

If you’re an employer facing a discrimination charge, the best approach is to remain calm, refrain from any form of retaliation, and immediately consult legal counsel. Cooperate fully with the investigating agency, preserve all relevant documents, and conduct a thorough internal review. Respond professionally with a well-documented position statement, and consider mediation if offered. Use the situation to reinforce anti-discrimination policies and training to help prevent future issues.

Can Aprio Legal review or draft employment contracts?

Yes. We can help draft, review, and negotiate employment agreements, including non-competes, confidentiality clauses, and independent contractor terms.

What’s the difference between an employee and an independent contractor?

The classification depends on the degree of control, financial arrangement, and nature of work. Employers must be aware of this as misclassification can lead to serious legal consequences. Our team can advise on proper categorization.

How should employers respond to internal workplace complaints?

Promptly, thoroughly, and legally. Aprio Legal helps employers conduct fair investigations, document findings, and take necessary action to protect all parties.
