Human Resources and Employment Law Consulting for Businesses

Employment law and regulations in Washington State are changing all the time. It can be difficult for employers and human resource professionals to keep up to date with the changes in state and federal law.

  • Responding to complaints
  • Responding to investigations

Updates to Employment Law and Labor Regulations 

Employment law, labor regulations, and wage and hour rules are always changing through case law or legislative bills. The benefit of an employment law consultation is providing up-to-date information on the latest changes and potential liability for employers. Proactively updating company policies and practices can avoid a number of legal problems.

Our employment law/HR consultation services can help your company reduce the risk of government fines and employee lawsuits.

Risk Management for Washington Companies

In many situations, the employer is vicariously liable for the negligent actions of managers and employees. A company can reduce the risk of a lawsuit and costly liability by providing training and oversight to employees and managers. A major aspect of reducing liability for the improper actions of managers and employees is properly responding to complaints of workplace violence, sexual harassment, or discrimination.

Contact our offices today to talk to an experienced employment law consultant in Washington to make sure your company is responsive to potential workplace problems.  

Federal, State, and Local Employment Laws  

Employers in Seattle and Washington are aware of the multiple levels of regulations at the city, county, state, and federal level. In some cases, these laws may appear to be in conflict or have different laws apply for different industries.

Compliance with federal employment laws and labor regulations does not necessarily mean the business is compliant with state and local regulations. This is why it is important to have a local professional who understands the unique nature of employment compliance in Tukwila, Tacoma, and Mill Creek.  

Start-Ups, Family-Owned Businesses, Medium-Sized Companies, and Larger Corporations

When it comes to employment law and HR counseling, one size does not fit all. Certain federal and state regulations apply differently to companies based on size and industry. A company that has been around for years may have different counseling requirements than a new business or start-up.

Individualized HR and employment law consultations can evaluate the specific needs of each business and provide a tailored plan to address compliance, risk management, and HR practices.
