Employee Relations

Every organization will face a time when there is an issue with an employee, whether with performance, with a colleague, with engaging in harassment, discrimination, etc. A thorough investigation is necessary in some cases, but not all. Having effective policies and procedures in place to manage expectations and what happens those expectations are not met is key to making good legal and business decisions, and to defending against legal claims. Anyone in a supervisory or management role must be trained in how to effectively handle these issues, and if you have a Human Resources department, they must be knowledgeable and/or trained in this area as well.

Sometimes, you just must let someone go. It’s just not working out. Need a Severance Agreement? Michael Trust Law can draft such an Agreement for you.

If your employees are considering organizing (unionizing), Michael Trust Law can refer you to counsel who specialize in employer rights related to organizing. 

Michael Trust Law can help with your policy and procedure development and with your overall employee relations issues.
