Equal Employment Opportunity
Clark Hill Labor & Employment attorneys partner with our
clients to develop and implement employment policies and practices
which will serve the dual role of advancing our client's business
interests and avoiding as many employment-related pitfalls as possible.
We take the time to learn about our clients' business, business
philosophy and business goals so that we can provide practical
solutions to workplace problems that will integrate with each clients'
individual corporate culture and all applicable legal requirements.
This approach results in a reduction of employment disputes and
associated legal costs and a corresponding increase in employee morale
and production. For more information regarding this expertise,
please call 1-800-949-3120.
Harassment and Discrimination Issues
Training Programs
Harassment and Discrimination Issues
Our attorneys regularly review proposed employment decisions in
conjunction with state and federal anti-discrimination and harassment
laws, the past practices of the employer, and the employer's own
policies and procedures. Clients are given guidance on how best to
avoid allegations of employment discrimination/harassment on the basis
of age, race, sex, religion, disability, national origin, height,
weight, marital/familial status, veterans' status, sexual preference
and other protected classifications, while still meeting legitimate
business requirements. Special attention is given to the potential of
developing systemic discrimination scenarios from individual employment
decisions.
Training Programs
We offer a number of fixed-fee training programs for executives,
managers and employees in the area of EEO issues. These programs are
designed to help employers prevent workplace problems from arising, to
reduce the risk of employment litigation, and to bolster defenses in
the event litigation does ensue. Our programs are tailored to reflect
each clients' policies and workforce structure.
Some of our current training programs include:
- Workplace Harassment
- Workplace Violence
- Workplace Discrimination
- Wage and Hour
- Leave Laws
- Investigations
- Documenting for Success
