Employment Law

Austin Employment Law Attorney
Texas Employee Contracts Lawyer

Employees can play an important role in the success of a business. As a part of business formation, a business should establish policies and procedures for dealing with all aspects of employment practices. An employment law attorney at Slater & Kennon has the experience and knowledge to advise your business.

• Employment manuals: What are your expectations for employees? What are the business's obligations to employees? With employment policies and procedures in place, an employment manual can communicate those policies to employees.
• Entry and exit planning: A business needs written procedures regarding employment interviews, employment applications, any employee testing (drug testing, aptitude testing, etc.), employment termination procedures, and exit interviews.
• Discrimination: Every employer is bound by state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination. Contact our employment law attorney about training and policies that can assure your business is in full compliance with the law.
• Employee contracts: Especially with key employees, your business needs an understanding of the requirements of the position and the employee's rights and obligations. You may want to include non-compete agreements and trade secret agreements in your employee contracts. Talk to our employee contracts lawyer.
• Employment law litigation: If your business is accused of violating employment laws, you will find an experienced trial lawyer at Slater & Kennon who can effectively guide your business through the litigation process.
