Legal Help for Hiring & Firing with Wrongful Termination
Hiring great employees is not easy. Regardless of the circumstances, letting people go is even tougher. LegalShield can help you avoid unnecessary legal complications.
Avoid common hiring pitfalls
As an employer, you have certain obligations and laws you have to follow when hiring people. Here are a few common problem areas.
- Discriminating based on race, gender, or disability.
- Asking interview questions about age, citizenship, or drug use.
- Following government regulations such as obtaining workers’ comp insurance, setting up employees’ payroll to withhold federal taxes, etc.
Whether you’re making your very first hire or you have legal questions about existing employees, speaking with an employment lawyer is a smart move.
Handle termination according to the law
Most wrongful termination lawsuits make one or more of the following claims against the employer.
- Violation of an anti-discrimination law
- Violation of an employment agreement
- Violation of labor laws
- Claims that termination was used as a form of harassment or retaliation
