Compensation and Discipline Disputes
Wage and Hour - Wrongful Termination - Constructive Discharge - FMLA Violation Claims
Managing employees takes skill, dedication, and the ability to deal with frustration. Employment law is complex. But managers and supervisors deal with more than just employment law--they deal with people who are in stressful employment situations. It is critical for employers to have knowledgeable and sympathetic legal support to ensure that employees are managed properly.
At the Santa Rosa law firm of Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran, P.C., our attorneys understand employment law. We represent both employers and employees in matters related to discipline and compensation. For any employment law matter, contact our California lawyers to schedule an initial consultation.
Employee Discipline
Effective employee discipline needs to follow an established pattern of documentation. This is particularly true when the employer intends to terminate an employee. If not done properly, a termination proceeding may turn into a discrimination charge. If you are an employee or employer facing an employee discipline matter, it is important to have the advice and representation of a knowledgeable employment lawyer.
Our employment lawyers have represented and advised businesses and individuals in matters involving:
- Termination in violation of state and federal anti-discrimination law
- Firing in retaliation for filing a harassment or discrimination claim
- Violation of oral or written employment and collective bargaining agreements or covenants not to compete
- Constructive discharge
Employee Compensation
Employee compensation is frequently regulated by state or federal laws, employment contracts, and collective bargaining agreements. We represent employers and employees in matters related to overtime, minimum wage, wage and hours, and administration of bonuses and other "perks". There are several laws covering compensation and other wage and hour issues, including:
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
- Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Our employment law attorneys have taken a number of employee discipline and discrimination claims to jury trials. We have a particular expertise in matters pertaining to cities and counties; our law firm has provided lawyers to the City of Santa Rosa in disputes relating to discipline, termination, compensation, and other employment matters. If you need an attorney to deal with an employee discipline or wage and hours issue, contact us at the Santa Rosa, California, law firm of Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran, P.C.
