Businesses now face a
number of very complex issues relative to their relationships with
their employees. Hiring, disciplining, and firing an employee, which
might have been routine years ago, may now involve a number of interrelated
problems such as discrimination claims, employee benefits and government-imposed
entitlements.
We counsel employers in avoiding expensive problems in a broad
range of areas such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the
Family & Medical Leave Act, age discrimination, disability discrimination,
sex discrimination, sexual harassment, unemployment compensation
and worker's compensation. Often a quick consultation will avoid
an expensive lawsuit. Sometimes, however, suits are unavoidable.
In those cases, we defend employers in State and Federal courts
as well as before State and Federal discrimination agencies, such
as the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and the EEOC. We
prepare or review documents such as personnel policies, contracts
and handbooks in order to avoid problems. We also offer consultation
services to employers and their human resource personnel in all
areas of employment and human resource issues; our hope is to deal
with issues proactively and avoid future complaints or litigation.
Often an employer requires quick attention to a problem. Our philosophy
of promptness serves us well in immediately meeting with employers,
answering questions and quickly taking the necessary steps to deal
with the issues at hand and protect the employer from costly litigation.
BYBR also offers representation in labor issues involving unions.
We are familiar with the complex issues that arise in the employer/employee
relationship when a collective bargaining agreement is involved.
