For Employers

Personnel Management and Compliance

For employers without dedicated in-house counsel, our firm advises on human resources, employee relations, employee benefits, and other personnel issues such as:

• Job descriptions, interviews, and offer letters
• Employment agreements, contractor agreements, confidentiality agreements, and trade secret protection agreements
• Disability, religious, and other accommodation requests
• Requests for medical leave
• Employee discipline and performance management
• Employee terminations and layoffs
• Severance and separation agreements
• Internal complaint investigation and resolution
• Professional regulation and reporting
• Employee mediation

Employee Handbooks and Policies

As your company grows, company policies and handbooks play a key part in managing employee expectations. Our firm can assist with:

• Drafting and updating employee handbooks to reflect employment law developments
• Developing progressive discipline and performance plans
• Identifying and developing industry-specific policies (such as policies governing appropriate use electronic devices, company vehicles, etc.)
• Developing PTO, vacation, overtime, and sick leave policies

Internal Investigations

Employers have a duty to investigate employee complaints of misconduct, discrimination, retaliation, and harassment. Our firm can provide an objective third-party assessment of the potential claims and allegations resulting from a complaint, conduct a detailed fact investigation, interview witnesses, and provide an independent investigation report.

Litigation

When disputes escalate, we represent employers before administrative agencies (such as the Colorado Civil Rights Division, EEOC, OSHA, and DOL), in mediation, arbitration, and state and federal court. We also advise on pre-filing matters, such as pre-filing negotiations, document preservation, and wage demands.
