Employment Law
Our firm works with businesses to help avoid costly lawsuits by developing effective processes and
procedures before issues arise.  Our lawyers provide advice to employers on areas such as hiring
practices, discipline, termination, family leave, exemption status, and compensation.  Our firm also assists
our clients that are required to respond to harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or wage and hour
complaints.  We offer our clients a variety of services to keep informed of developments in the law,
including seminars and training programs.  

Merhab Robinson & Jackson performs
employment audits to ensure your company is in compliance with
state and federal laws and will review all employment documentation such as applications, at-will
agreements, employment agreements, commission agreements, orientation checklists, evaluation forms,
disciplinary forms and termination forms.  The firm specializes in performing confidential on-site
employment audits for a flat fee (i.e., a sum certain irrespective of the hours of service).  The audit includes
a review of all employment documentation, such as applications, evaluation forms, exit-interview forms and
the like.  The employment audit also includes the preparation of recommended employment documents
and an employee handbook tailored to the needs of the employer and complying with all federal and state
statutory requirements.

Merhab Robinson & Jackson provides seminars and training programs focused on educating business
owners and managers on recent legal developments and best practices.  

  • Hiring and Interviewing: This presentation will explain the legal and practical issues involved in the
    hiring process in order to ensure effective and legal hiring procedures.  We will discuss how to
    avoid discrimination claims by asking the right questions and identifying the questions to avoid.

  • Preparing for a Performance Evaluation: This course equips managers with the skills to conduct a
    successful performance evaluation. We discuss the difference between objective versus subjective
    terms in an evaluation. Participants will learn how to prepare for appraisals, handle different types
    of employees and plan for continuous performance improvement after the evaluation.   

  • Effective Discipline: Discussing poor performance can be difficult for managers. This program
    gives your managers the tools they need to discipline their employees. We will focus on increasing
    the communication between managers and their employees by explaining how to provide negative
    feedback.  We will identify conflict avoidance behaviors and discuss how to document performance
    and conduct issues.
Practices
