Employment Policies and Procedures to Avoid Lawsuits

We can help assemble these documents, customized to your business, and ensure compliance with current California employment law.

California and Federal Wrongful Termination, Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Lawsuits
Employee lawsuits can be costly, disruptive, and have a significant effect on employee morale.

At Larsen & Naddour, LLP, we approach each case differently. We investigate the claim against your business and work with you to formulate a defense that will resolve the case as favorably as possible.
Wage and Hour Planning and Defense of Lawsuits
State and federal law have specific requirements when it comes to overtime pay, minimum wage, meal/rest breaks, commission pay, and other issues related to employee compensation. Employers may be unaware that their compensation structure runs afoul of labor law. At Larsen & Naddour, LLP, we strive to learn your business so we provide you with legal options and ways to comply with California law. While these details may seem minuscule, our goal is to protect a class action against your business over things that could have been prevented.
Administrative Proceedings Before the Labor Board and Related Agencies
Many disputes related to employment are heard before administrative agencies that conduct quasi-judicial hearings. Although these proceedings do not take place in court, their outcome can have significant legal consequences and the decisions rendered by an administrative law judge could result in significant legal liability. At Larsen & Naddour LLP, we regularly represent employers involved in administrative proceedings and work hard to bring each case to a favorable resolution.
