Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Employment Law
Does my business need an employee handbook?
Yes. A well-drafted handbook sets expectations, communicates policies consistently, and provides documentation that can protect your business. It should be reviewed and updated annually to reflect current laws.
Are non-compete agreements enforceable?
Enforceability varies by state and depends on scope, duration, and geographic restrictions. Your attorney drafts agreements tailored to your state's requirements and your legitimate business interests.
When should I use an independent contractor vs. employee?
The distinction depends on factors like control over how work is performed, economic dependence, and the nature of the relationship. Misclassification can result in significant penalties and back taxes.
