Employment Law: Employers require assistance in every aspect of their relationship with the work force. Employers seek our advice in work force restructuring, employee terminations and discipline. When employees seek leaves of absence, we provide advice on compliance with the Federal and State Family and Medical Leave Acts, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, COBRA and Workers’ Compensation laws. We assist clients in investigation of alleged employee misconduct involving harassment, discrimination, and drug use. We draft employment documents including employee manuals, employment and consulting agreements, severance agreements, confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements.
