Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about employment law

Do I need a staff handbook?

Yes, every employer should have a compliant handbook outlining policies, expectations, and procedures. A good handbook protects your company legally, sets clear expectations, and demonstrates your commitment to fair treatment. We draft customized handbooks that comply with federal and state law while reflecting your company culture.

How should I handle an EEOC charge?

EEOC charges require prompt, strategic responses. Gather relevant documents, interview witnesses, and consult employment counsel immediately. We represent employers throughout the EEOC process and subsequent litigation if necessary. Early legal involvement often leads to better outcomes.

Can I terminate an employee instantly?

While Florida is an 'at-will' employment state, summary termination should be handled carefully to avoid discrimination or retaliation claims. We help you document performance issues and conduct proper disciplinary procedures to minimize legal risk.
