Our Employment Law Services

Posted on by
Our Employment Law group helps business clients, like you, navigate the maze of federal and state employment regulations. As an employer, you are responsible for complying with Wage and Hour regulations issued by the Federal Department of Labor. Under the Federal PATRIOT Act, you are also required to comply with regulations issued by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration and Department of Homeland Security. In addition, you must comply with the State’s unemployment and worker’s compensation regulations. The consequence of failing to comply exposes your business to monetary penalties and you, as the business owners, to incarceration.

In addition to government intervention, you are responsible for enforcing the Federal Civil Rights Act which prohibits discrimination based on race, gender, age, nationality, and disability. An employer action that violates this law exposes your business to a discrimination lawsuit. Our attorneys can help your business enforce and comply with the laws, along with defending your business if you are accused of violating the regulations.

Even if you employ independent contractors, your business is not immune to these regulations. The law permits state and federal agencies to challenge whether your independent contractor qualifies as an independent contractor or employee. McKee Law Office can draft independent contractor agreements that will survive most agency challenges and we can defend your business in an agency proceeding to disqualify an independent contractor.

Being an employer has its advantages. You can receive grants and tax credits for workforce re-entry, training, education, promotion. Our attorneys can help you stay aware of qualifying grants and tax credits.
