We have found that a healthy relationship between a business and its workforce is important in avoiding litigation and associated costs. Our goal is to work with employers to provide human resources law advice, build employee relations and develop best practices, thereby serving each business’s unique vision and needs.
At Malek + Malek, our human resources attorneys pursue our goal of making tomorrow better for our clients. Our attorneys apply this to representation in all areas of employment law including wage requirements, workplace safety, harassment and discrimination, hiring and firing practices, and employee leave.
Wage Requirements
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the federal minimum wage, but many states mandate higher rates. Additionally, strict guidelines govern overtime pay and the regularity of wages for employees. Our human resources attorneys are committed to staying knowledgeable of evolving legal requirements, ensuring your compliance and safeguarding your workforce’s rights.
Workplace Safety and Injuries
All employers must maintain a safe workplace and some employers are obligated to provide medical treatment and partial wage replacement to employees who suffer on-the-job injuries. Malek + Malek attorneys help employers navigate the complicated regulations governing workers compensation and workplace safety in a manner that is efficient and fair.
Discrimination
Both federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based on gender, race, national origin, religious background, and other affiliations. Malek + Malek’s human resources attorneys have a wealth of experience in developing effective anti-discrimination policies to prevent worker harm and protect you from legal actions.
Layoff Procedures
Large employers must adhere to additional regulations when conducting layoffs. Navigating this process can be challenging when quick restructuring is required. Malek + Malek attorneys help identify the most effective and efficient solutions for your specific needs and assist you in implementing those solutions in accordance with the law.
Employee Leave
The Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) requires employers meeting specific criteria to provide qualified employees with up to twelve weeks family and medical leave. This can be a heavy demand and it can be difficult to understand your rights as an employer in these situations. Malek + Malek attorneys guide you through this complicated regulation and lighten the burden on you and your company.
