Employer-side counsel for business owners in labor disputes, from Cal/OSHA citations to wrongful termination claims.
Overview
Employment issues can be stressful and emotionally draining. Because the consequences of your labor dispute affect your work life, home life, finances, and psychological well-being, it is paramount that you find an attorney that is compassionate about your needs and that will fight on your behalf.
Prevention
California’s employment laws favor employees heavily, often at the expense of well-meaning employers. TWM Legal works to keep employers out of litigation in the first place, putting useful and effective prevention measures in place before a dispute arises. When prevention is not enough, we have the knowledge and experience to defend your business against every form of claim. Call us today or contact us online.
Circumstances
Employment issues for business owners may result from several circumstances.
Harassment
Are you a business owner facing an employee’s claim of unwanted sexual advances? Claims of sexual harassment at the workplace are emotionally draining and humiliating, and false claims can cripple the motivation and morale of your other employees. If your business is facing, or has recently faced, a claim of sexual harassment at the workplace, call TWM Legal today for a free consultation.
Discrimination
Are you a business owner who has been accused of treating employees unfairly at work because of their race, ethnicity, or gender? Has an employee claimed they were denied a promotion or a raise simply because they are different? False claims of workplace discrimination are an unacceptable reality for today’s business owners, and you do not have to stand alone in your defense. Call TWM Legal today or contact us online for a free consultation.
Termination
Are you a business owner who is tired of being targeted by former employees with claims of wrongful termination? With California’s ever-changing employment laws, it is paramount that an employer facing employment litigation seeks competent and effective legal representation. Call TWM Legal today for a free consultation, or contact us online.
Cal/OSHA
Cal/OSHA has stepped up its enforcement of California’s safety regulations, issuing more general, serious, and willful violations and showing up unannounced at small and medium-sized businesses. If you have been cited and believe the violations are wrong, mislabeled, or excessively high, the key to a successful defense is early involvement of an experienced attorney.
Wage & Hour
Are you a business owner facing claims of unpaid overtime, missed meal breaks, or rest period violations? California’s wage and hour laws are among the strictest in the nation, and a single misclassified employee or miscalculated pay stub can expose your business to costly penalties. Call TWM Legal today for a free consultation, or contact us online.
Class Actions
Has your business been hit with a class action or a PAGA notice alleging labor code violations? These claims can multiply quickly and threaten significant financial exposure if not handled strategically from the outset. Call TWM Legal today for a free consultation, or contact us online.
