Clearly written Labor Code-compliant policies go a long way toward and hassle-free workplace and smooth working relationships, as well as minimizing the chances of worker legal claims.
“Tim’s office makes HR matters so much easier! We just have to do what they tell us to do. We order their updated hiring forms and employee handbook each year, thus expanding our protections with the correct up-to-date wording. The hiring forms alone saved us thousands of dollars in one lawsuit.” ~ LO

- Alternative dispute resolution agreement (also properly setting terms to match changing standards for private mediation and arbitration in lieu of court action);

- Paid sick leave benefits under federal and California directives; and
