GEORGIA EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY
THE LAW OFFICE OF JULIE M. WEINER
No matter the size of your business, having employees means that you have many types of legal exposure. But many smaller businesses are unaware of the legal requirements that must be followed. As a result, they often don’t seek advice before an employment situation arises.
I advocate that businesses of any size seek advice from an experienced employment attorney as a preventive measure, which can save you thousands of dollars in the long run. That is why many small to medium sized companies retain me on an “as needed” basis to assist them with human resource issues. Of course, should an employment-related claim be lodged against your business, you will need to consult an attorney as quickly as possible to assess the situation and determine if there are any upcoming deadlines.
Here are some initial questions that employers must address:
Additional issues for which employers often need my legal advice and guidance include:
Unemployment Claims
Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Claims
Wage and Hour Issues
Medical and other leave time
Contractual issues
Employee Handbooks, Policies and Procedures
If your business does end up facing a formal complaint or lawsuit, it is critical that you retain an attorney with significant experience in employment claims, as such matters often involve complex issues that don’t arise in other types of cases.
My legal career has been devoted almost exclusively to employment-related matters, and I have handled a variety of cases involving numerous types of contested claims in administrative agencies, as well as state and federal trial and appellate courts.
