employment counseling and employee relations

The Department of Labor just showed up at my business. What do I do?

Do you have an employee handbook and when was the last time it was updated?

Your company is growing and you need to hire. Can I just hire independent contractors because hiring employees is too expensive?

How can I prevent my independent contractors from being deemed to be my employees? How can I prevent my licensees from being deemed to be franchisees?

What do I need to have an effective discrimination and harassment complaint policy? And once I receive a complaint, what do I do?

As an at-will employer, are there steps you should take before you can lay off an employee for cause? What if you are laying off the employee without cause?

Do I have to pay my hourly employees who check email or text at night?

My employee has a license to carry a gun and asked if they can carry it while working.

Can I terminate my employee for his/her social media posts?
