Protecting yourself from employment liability requires prudent and up-to-date employment policies. The best way to ensure that your policies will protect you from liability under the constantly evolving web of employment laws and regulations is to develop and regularly update your business's employee handbook.
At the Thatcher Law Firm, our team of metropolitan Washington, D.C., employment defense attorneys have drafted many employee handbooks and are constantly monitoring changes in employment law that require updates to policies. Led by managing member Linda Hitt Thatcher, who for three years has been named one of the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area's best attorneys by Washingtonian magazine, our attorneys will design a specialized employee handbook tailored to the needs of your industry and designed to shield you from legal liability arising from employment disputes.
The Maryland-Washington, D.C., employee handbook lawyers at the Thatcher Law Firm will ensure that your handbook covers state and federal employment laws as well as company policies and the company's grievance or complaint procedures. If a business can prove that it has well-documented policies in place, its position will be stronger should an employee file a complaint or suit.
Company privacy policies and employee use of computers, the Internet and e-mail are also critical topics. It is more important than ever for your employee handbook to address policies regarding social media such as blogs and social networking websites. We will discuss these issues with you and advise you on appropriate policies.
