As an employer, you are responsible for verifying the identity of every employee and making sure he or she is authorized to work in the United States.

Count on our Knowledge of Employment Law

We consult with many employers on wage and hour compliance, because the laws are complicated and constantly changing. We have defended employers against wage & hour compliance claims, as well as employees who were underpaid by contractors and subcontractors on federal projects.

When an employer has questions about I-9 compliance, we make sure that employers know how to correctly complete an I-9 for every employee. We can also assist employers with E-Verify. This electronic account, which allows employers to verify employment status electronically, costs the employer nothing, and is an important tool for federal contractors in employer compliance.

Our goal is to help employers avoid future problems by examining current policy and recommending proactive solutions. We also help employers create or revise employee handbooks, which are compliant with discrimination and employment law.
