Optimum HR Systems Employee Law

As any employer knows, employment law at both the state and federal level is a minefield, which requires vigilance and expertise. Compliance with the ever-changing and complex laws and regulations is costly and employers need to be able to rely on their vendors for competent and cost-effective advice.
At Optimum Human Resource Systems, we believe that the safest and the less expensive approach to deal with employment law issues is to practice preventative maintenance. We work with our clients to prepare them for the inevitable compliance issues and to implement policies, which will aid in avoiding costly litigation in the future. Our services include:

Employment Law Compliance and Preventive Counseling:
We emphasize on the need of compliance documentation and sound practices in all areas of the
employer-employee relationships. This complex relationship may be governed by a myriad of different state
and federal agencies, departments and boards. We help prepare our clients for the inevitable challenges of
hiring, retaining and terminating employees. We also inform and train our clients to prepare the required
contracts, to negotiate issues and to help foresee potential problems ahead.

Employment Investigations:
We will assist our clients in performing investigations of harassment or other complaints. We can then
advise the employer on the steps to take to help avoid a penalty or costly litigation.

Trial representation:
In the unlikely scenario, when trial is not avoidable, we represent our clients in federal or state courts of law.
While we understand that litigation is never a positive experience for an employer, we pride ourselves in being
zealous advocates, providing our clients with practical and sound advice during litigation .

In addition, our Employment Law attorneys provide valuable input to all our associates, when creating and deploying Affirmative Action Plans, Equal Opportunity Compliance Programs, Safety and Health Programs, Environmental Programs, Compensation and Benefit Plans, etc.
