How We Can Help Your Business
Labor laws are constantly changing, and it can be difficult for businesses to keep up to date. Even if they have a dedicated HR staff, policies on hiring and managing employees may not be in compliance with current laws. Failure to follow these laws can lead to serious consequences and negative publicity.
Businesses need to know the latest statutes and laws about employment. From hiring practices to interview questions to ongoing supervision, these laws affect the way a company manages its employees. For instance, in California and some other states, employers are limited to the information they can ask about prior convictions and criminal charges.
Most employers prohibit drug use, but the legalization of medical marijuana has changed what that means. Additionally, there may be other addictive prescription drugs an employee may be taking while working at a job. How the employer handles medical and mental health issues be impacted by changes in the law.
Wrongful termination and employee classification are two other areas where businesses may face challenges. Employees may file a lawsuit for labor code violations. In these situations, the business must prove they followed the law and ignorance is not a defense.
S&K Insurance can help companies navigate these complex waters of labor laws by ensuring HR and managers and supervisors are educated on current statutes and regulations. Having an experienced team on your side can prevent lawsuits and help you deal with the situation if one is filed. We want to protect your business so it can thrive for today and in the future.
