What you don't know can hurt you.

You must comply with ever-changing employment laws, whether you know about them or not. We focus on educating our clients before problems arise, and not just responding to crises as they occur.

For example, you may not know:

• Salaried employees may be entitled to overtime pay.
  
  
• Some questions are illegal to ask during a job interview, or on a job application.
  
  
• Properly drafted employment policies can be used to defeat employment lawsuits, workers' compensation claims, and unemployment claims.
  
  
• You generally may not take deductions from payroll checks without your employees' written permission - even if they owe you money.
  
  
• You may be able to significantly reduce the amount of time an employee has to file suit against you.
  
  
• Your e-mail policy (or lack thereof) could result in a sexual harassment or discrimination claim being filed against you.
  
  
• Supervisors, managers, and human resource professionals may be sued personally for alleged violations of the FMLA and state anti-discrimination statutes.
