By developing a partnership with our clients, VanDermyden Block regularly
provides practical advice on day-to-day concerns to resolve matters at the
ground level, before any litigation is necessary. The goal is risk reduction
rather than crisis management. Successfully navigating the range of legal
issues and at the same time, treating employees fairly, is the key to all
successful businesses.
VanDermyden Block can assist you with your questions relating to all aspects of
the workplace, including:
- Handling the sick or injured worker while successfully navigating the complex
world of leave laws, the interactive process of disability laws, often in
conjunction with workers’ compensation laws;
- Assessing the risks of personnel actions, such
as hiring, firing and disciplinary action;
- Responding to claims of harassment,
discrimination, retaliation or whistleblowing;
- Responding to DFEH and EEOC claims;
- Handling threats of violence;
- Conducting a prompt and effective internal workplace investigation;
- Drafting employment handbooks and agreements;
- Dealing with privacy issues;
- Advising about wage and hour claims, such as exempt status, overtime, meal and
rest breaks.
