Types of Employment Litigation Employers Face

Ideally, any issues that occur in the workplace will be resolved without necessitating litigation. As any employer knows, though, this is not always the case. Sometimes it is necessary for legal intervention to take place, and whether you are initiating or receiving the litigation, it is essential to have strong legal counsel on your side. 

Employment litigation covers many different types of claims, including, but not limited to the following:

  • Discrimination and/or Harassment
  • Wage-hour pay
  • Classification
  • Violations related to Overtime
  • Wrongful discharge
  • Employee benefits
  • Misappropriation of trade secrets
  • Confidential information
  • Unfair competition
  • Avoidance of restrictive covenants
  • Labor union issues
  • Workplace safety violations
  • Defamation
  • Employment-related torts

What Should Be Included In Employment Contracts To Protect The Company Legally?

To protect the company legally, employment contracts should include several critical elements:

  • Job Description: Clearly state the employee's obligations in order to avoid disagreements about what is expected of them.
  • Compensation and Benefits: To prevent confusion about pay and perks, clearly state salary, bonuses, and benefits.
  • Employment Term: To give clarity on job security, specify the duration of employment and the terms for renewal or termination.
  • Confidentiality Agreement: Add provisions to your confidentiality agreement that guard against unauthorized disclosure of private corporate information.
  • Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses: Prevent former workers from engaging in business rivalry or approaching the company's customers and employees.
  • Dispute Resolution: To expedite the resolution of disagreements in the workplace, specify the processes that will be followed, such as mediation or arbitration.
  • Intellectual Property Rights: Make sure that any work produced by the employee while they are employed belongs to the company.

For tailored advice, contact our Santa Rosa employment litigation attorneys for employers. Our employment litigation lawyers are backed by years of experienced and are ready to help.

“Employment Law Alphabet Soup”

These claims may involve the laws governing employee relations, which are often referred to as “employment law alphabet soup.” Laws that are included: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), whistleblower claims fall under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) or Dodd-Frank Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
