Perhaps the best way for an employer in the state of California to avoid employment disputes (and the loss of assets that can accompany them) is to possess and abide by an employment handbook whose rules and regulations are consistent with those of the state’s labor code and the federal statutes that govern employer/employee relations.
McDowall Cotter specializes in advising clients on the creation and maintenance of such handbooks, as well as on other preemptive measures that make for a happy, stable, productive and legally defensible workplace. For more on this topic, please see Business Services: Employer/Employee Relations.
