EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
ADEA | ADA | Disabilities | Discrimination
Harassment | Sex Harassment
Many laws impose equal employment opportunity obligations upon employers. These laws affect all employment decisions: advertising for applicants, testing and interviewing, promoting or terminating employees. Jenkins Law Firm helps employers to understand their complex legal obligations in every employment area and to comply with local, state, and federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.
Jenkins Law Firm advises clients on how to be in proper compliance and offers tactics to avoid claims and litigation. As needed, we also assist employers in defending any claims that may arise. Specific services include:
- Representing employers before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, state commissions governing fair employment, and other federal, state, and local civil rights agencies.
- Reviewing proposed personnel actions including discipline, promotions, terminations, and layoffs for potential discrimination claims.
- Reviewing personnel practices, and drafting employment applications and policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment.
- Designing affirmative action plans and assisting employers in agency audits of those plans.
