| Health Care Labor & EmploymentHealth care employers operate at the intersection of two of the most challenging legal environments: health law and employment law. Because health care institutions have such complex staffing scenarios, our firm frequently handles health care-related employment problems. Our attorneys have represented hospitals, long-term care facilities, physician groups, medical foundations, and in-home care providers in nearly every imaginable type of employment-related claim.
Our attorneys counsel clients on employment issues such as allegations of discrimination or wage claims, and traditional labor relations issues such as union avoidance, collective bargaining and labor board proceedings. We also represent employers in arbitrations, mediations and litigation related to these matters.
Some of the key topic areas in which we have substantial experience and can provide your organization with guidance are:
- Disability and leaves of absence issues, employee EEO complaints and employee privacy
- Workforce audits in EEO claim exposure, FLSA classifications and other wage and hour compliance issues
- Jury and bench trials in civil court proceedings
- Investigations of employee claims of discrimination or harassment
- Drafting and revising employee handbooks and related policies
- Private arbitrations pursuant to employment contracts or employee handbooks
- Union grievance arbitrations under collective bargaining agreements
- Collective bargaining on behalf of employers
- Defense of wage and hour claims
- Unfair labor practice proceedings and representation hearings before the National Labor Relations Board
