As a business owner, you face many challenges related to your government of employees.  Are the people that work for you considered employees or independent contractors under the law?  It may differ from how you planned it to be.  There are entire industries that thrive on filing and winning lawsuits against employers for violations they may not have been aware they were even committing.  From the time you first have contact with a potential employee in the application and interview process or in the initial employment offer, legal problems and challenges can arise.  There are also employment law issues that may catch you off guard when you need to discipline your employees for policy violations or other misbehavior.  An experienced attorney from Kestler | Derryberry LLP will be able to assist you and your business in developing and implementing the best practices to protect yourself from unnecessary legal trouble.
