Employment Agreements

To attract top talent, you’ll want to offer competitive employment benefits and terms to new employees. This often involves developing an employment agreement that is agreed upon by both employer and employee. The legal team at Bolton Group, PLLC can help you develop employment contracts, pursue resolution in the event an employee breaches their contract, or represent you in the event you are taken to court by an employee.

Additional issues our law firm can assist you with include written employment agreements, severance agreements, non-compete agreements, and all other contracts relating to full-time, part-time, individual consulting services, and much more. At Bolton Group, PLLC, it is our goal to help you resolve employment agreement issues in a swift and cost-effective manner.

Hiring & Firing

As your company experiences growth, you’ll want to have a robust team to maintain productivity, efficiency, and profitability. When you hire new employees, Bolton Group, PLLC can help you create contracts to help you develop positive relationships with new employees, along with making certain you’re hiring within the scope of federal, state, and local laws. Unfortunately, you may also encounter situations where you might want to fire an employee. Our employment law attorneys will make sure you don’t inadvertently violate any federal or state laws before you take action.

Wage and Hour

Every employer in the U.S. must follow the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage and hour laws. Currently, the minimum wage in both Mississippi and Tennessee aligns with the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, but states can always choose to increase their minimums. In the event this was to happen, businesses would need to adapt and the attorneys at Bolton Group, PLLC, could help you restructure your wage and hour policies.

If an employee initiates a dispute over wages, overtime, or other compensation, the Bolton Group, PLLC can work closely with you to confirm you’re compliant with federal, state, and local laws, and then identify potential solutions for you and your employees.

Discrimination

When an employee feels they’ve been unduly treated and believes it’s due to discriminatory practices, they might take action against a company. This is a complex situation and you’ll need to step very carefully and make sure you continue to follow fair practices until the situation is resolved. When you work with Bolton Group, PLLC, our attorneys will examine the facts of the case and determine if the employee indeed has grounds for a discrimination lawsuit. If they don’t, we’ll quickly move to get the matter dismissed, but if they do appear to have a case, we’ll actively work on your behalf to come to a swift resolution.
