Hiring, Firing, and Layoffs

In light of enumerable statutory and regulatory mandates, the employment relationship is exceedingly complex. The complexities begin at the very outset with laws governing advertising for employees, employment applications, interviewing applicants, and hiring candidates. Terminating the relationship can be risky even where the employee's work is inadequate or there is no work to perform. Cook Brown helps employers minimize these risks. We assist with the development of appropriate policies, training of management, and oversight of hiring and firing decisions.
