Employment & Labor
Cooper Cargill Chant is committed to helping businesses, non-profits, and public entities prevent costly employment litigation by drafting customized policies and procedures, performing workplace audits, delivering management training seminars, and providing quick and reliable legal advice on all issues involving the workplace. The attorneys at Cooper Cargill Chant also provide sound representation to employers of all sizes in defense of workplace related claims before the Department of Labor, the Human Rights Commission, and in state and federal court.
Employers have a legal duty to conduct a full and fair investigation every time they have reason to believe harassment has occurred in the workplace. Conducting a proper investigation not only builds confidence and trust among your employees, but it gives your business a defense to potentially costly discrimination litigation. Bringing in an outside investigator may encourage employees to be more forthcoming and gives a greater appearance of impartiality. Our attorneys have conducted countless investigations for employers of all sizes, and are ready to conduct a full and fair comprehensive investigation into any suspected harassment in your workplace.
The Employee Handbook is a contract between the Employer and its Employees. It outlines the rights and responsiblities of both parties and creates a framework for the employment relationship. Every employer should have a comprehensive employee manual in place. If your business has never had an Employee Manual, we can draft one for you from cover to cover, for one flat-fee. Or, we can review what you do have and make recommendations for improvement.
Whether your goal is to strengthen your workplace, build employee morale, or simply lay the foundation for the defense of future claims, we can create and deliver customized human resources training to fit any need. We also provide the state-mandated anti-harassment training for Maine businesses.
Confused by the myriad of employment laws and regulations and don’t know which ones apply to your business? We will come to your business and conduct a full compliance audit, so you’ll know exactly where your trouble-spots are. After the audit, we’ll tell you how to improve the issues we found to be in non-compliance.
Whether it’s a wage & hour, unemployment, or workers compensation issue at the Department of Labor, or a Complaint of Discrimination at the Human Rights Commission, our Y:\Administrative\Marketing\Website\ Practice Area Categrories\Employment&Labor.wpd experienced attorneys will help you prepare for the investigation and represent you throughout the agency proceedings. If the claim progresses to civil litigation in superior or federal court, we can provide thorough representation to your business in defense of those claims as well
