Employee Misconduct
Our employment attorneys can help you with any employee misconduct issues. Employee misconduct should be taken seriously and needs to be investigated whenever there is an accusation. The employer should interview every person who is a witness to the misconduct and collect their signed statements. If the misconduct becomes the subject of litigation, the employer may have to use this evidence to support the claim. All too often, an employer alleges misconduct but has no documentation to support it. It is important that you protect yourself against accusations of retaliation, wrongful termination, discrimination and more.Discrimination and sexual harassment in the Workplace
Accusations of discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace can impact a company greatly. Even if you, the employer had nothing to do with the unlawful action, the business can be in jeopardy. Employers should be aware of the various ways to combat discrimination and sexual harassment. For example, an employer should have an established, strong policy regarding the matters written in an employee handbook or policy manual. Another way is to have comprehensive employee training sessions. If discrimination or sexual harassment do arise, it is important for the employer to do what it takes to handle the matter. Inaction is not an option. The burden is on the employer to make sure it’s employees comply with the policies it puts in place. After all, a policy is worthless if it is not enforced by the employer. If you have an issue related to employee misconduct, terminating employees, sexual harassment, discrimination in the workplace or any other employment law issue, you should speak with an experienced employment attorney.
