Protecting Employers & Navigating Workplace Challenges
Employment laws shape every aspect of the employer-employee relationship, from hiring and compensation to workplace policies and dispute resolution. With a complex web of federal and state regulations, businesses must take proactive steps to ensure compliance, reduce risk, and protect their interests.
Danna McKitrick’s employment law attorneys help businesses navigate the ever-changing landscape of workplace laws, ensuring compliance with regulations and defending against claims when disputes arise. Whether advising on employment policies, handling regulatory investigations, or representing employers in litigation, our team delivers practical solutions that help businesses operate with confidence.
Employment Law Compliance and Risk Management
Workplace regulations are constantly evolving, requiring employers to stay ahead of compliance requirements to avoid costly disputes and penalties. Our attorneys provide guidance on federal and state employment laws, including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA).
We work with businesses to:
- Develop legally sound hiring, discipline, and termination policies
- Ensure compliance with wage and hour laws, including FLSA classifications
- Create and update employee handbooks, policies, and benefits programs
- Train management and HR teams on employment law best practices
- Assist with workforce classification for independent contractors and exempt/non-exempt employees
Employment Disputes and Workplace Defense
Even with strong workplace policies, employment disputes can arise, leading to regulatory investigations and potential litigation. Our employment attorneys represent businesses in claims related to discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage disputes.
We defend employers against:
- Employee complaints filed with EEOC, MCHR, DOL, and NLRB
- Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims
- Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and disability accommodation disputes
- Breach of employment agreements, including non-compete and non-solicitation claims
Our team has substantial experience representing businesses in litigation, mediation, and arbitration, ensuring that disputes are handled efficiently and in alignment with business goals.
Workplace Agreements and Policy Development
Strong employment policies and agreements are essential for protecting a company’s interests. Our attorneys assist businesses in drafting and enforcing:
- Non-compete, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation agreements
- Employee policies and manuals
- Workforce agreements for independent contractors and exempt/non-exempt employees
- HIPAA compliance policies and training
