Employment Law

Parks, Chesin & Walbert offers employment law assistance to small businesses. Because employment law is complex, business owners benefit from consulting with a lawyer who is knowledgeable in this area of law and up to date on the latest legal developments. Attorneys at Parks, Chesin & Walbert are exceptional advocates for small business owners. They can help you by providing comprehensive and reliable legal support in the following areas:

• General corporate counsel
• Employment litigation
• Wage and hour compliance
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Discrimination
• Business development
• Employee handbook review
• Employee relations

It is important for business owners to treat their employees fairly. Just as employers expect employees to complete their work properly, employees have the right to expect fair and timely compensation for their work. An attorney from our firm can help you create and implement policies that support you and your employees, facilitating a productive and efficient work environment.

Workplaces are filled with a diverse mixture of employees with different backgrounds and experiences. While diversity is an excellent asset to the workplace, conflicts sometimes arise. Employees have the right to be free from harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Companies should implement clear rules of conduct and grievance procedures to minimize the potential for workplace disputes.

Medical and family emergencies are part of life. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act, employees have the right to take significant time off of work without pay to handle personal and family medical situations. While these laws offer significant protections to employees, they offer protections to employers as well. If you have concerns related to your rights and obligations under the FMLA, contact Parks, Chesin & Walbert.

Resolving Workplace Disputes

Wage and hour lawsuits are on the rise. Employers must comply with all applicable laws when compensating employees. Wage and hour law is complex and a Georgia employment lawyer can help guide your decisions. Because the law depends on job function rather than title, it is important to evaluate each employee’s role on a case-by-case basis to determine their classification.

In the event of a dispute, employment lawyers at Parks, Chesin & Walbert can help you resolve the issue quickly. Attorneys at Parks, Chesin & Walbert are creative advocates and aggressive litigators.
