HR Counseling

Fairfax, Virginia Employer Law Firm Providing Experienced Human Resources Counsel

Human resource management that is fully compliant with state and federal employment laws is an essential requirement for businesses of all sizes. There are a number of legal and indemnification issues involving what is contained in a company's bylaws, employee handbook, and corporate communications that can expose companies to unwanted liability.

Failure to take into account the rights of employees and how a number of federal laws impact the workplace can lead to litigation. We advise and represent both large and small companies in Virginia, the greater Washington D.C. area, and nationwide. Contact the Sparlin Law Office, PLLC to discuss how to protect your business effectively without allocating undue resources to an HR department.

State and Federal Laws That Impact the Workplace

The Sparlin Law Office counsels, advises, and represents business clients in regard to any number of state and federal employment laws and regulations and how they impact HR policy. Laws that commonly concern our clients include:

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
• The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Civil Rights Acts (CRA) and Title VII

Regulatory Compliance and Employee Handbooks

Human resources counseling offered by the Sparlin Law Office ranges from thorough, in-depth audits to informal day-to-day advice on how new regulations by the EEOC, the Department of Labor, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and other agencies may affect particular businesses' HR compliance.

However, our legal advice and representation is not limited to advising Human Resources departments on regulatory compliance issues. We also help companies set up payroll systems and develop legally sound employee handbooks in order to minimize the possibility of litigation.

While to date the courts have not generally treated employee handbooks as contracts, companies that publish policies and procedures and then fail to follow them are often held accountable by the courts. What a business puts in writing regarding policies, disciplinary procedures, or employee rights must be considered carefully. We review employee handbooks and policies in order to protect our clients from potential liability and legal problems in the future.
