Direct "Hot-Line" Management Consultation

Human Resource Policy & Employment Law Guidance

Personnel policy & procedure, Wage-Hour rules, ADA, FMLA, discrimination, payroll, performance reviews, handling terminations – these are only a few examples of areas where the Council staff is called upon for assistance and advice. The Employers Council helps employers find ways to improve results, eliminate problems, and reduce potential high costs associated with confrontation, administrative complaints, and litigation.

Employee Handbooks

An Employee Handbook is a good way to gather together and explain your company's philosophy, policies, and practices. The Council staff can thoroughly review your handbook and bring it up to date. This review includes suggestions of possible changes and written recommendations. If your company does not have the time, expertise, or interest in developing a first-time or updated handbook, our staff can write one for you.

I-9 Audit

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) prohibits employers from recruiting, hiring or continuing to employ individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States. To comply with the law, employers must complete a Form I-9 for all employees. The Form I-9 was developed to help employers verify individuals who are authorized to work in the United States by requiring employees to provide documents establishing work eligibility and identity. Employers who fail to properly complete the Form I-9 face penalties ranging from $110 to $1,100 per violation. In addition to ensuring undocumented workers are not hired, employers must avoid engaging in discrimination or "document abuse" by requiring employees to produce more documents than necessary under the laws to verify employment authorization. Penalties for document abuse also range from $110 to $1,100. Conducted on-site by the Council's experienced, professional staff, our I-9 Administration Audit will help gauge your organization's compliance with laws governing I-9 Administration.
