The difference between employment law & labor law

Labor laws regulate the relationship between employers and labor unions, such as the AFL-CIO. Labor laws cover topics like the right to unionize and the negotiation and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements.

Employment laws regulate the relationship between an employer and individual employees and deal with issues like employment discrimination, harassment and complaints about compensation for work that was delivered.

Regardless of which laws apply to your situation, a small business plan from Legal Shield includes unlimited phone consultation with an experienced employment litigator to help you understand your rights, determine next steps and protect your business.

Diffuse employment disputes before they turn into lawsuits

Disputes with employees can be stressful and difficult for small businesses to deal with on their own. An experienced lawyer can help you navigate your way to a positive resolution as they understand the intricacies of common employee complaints.

  • Sexual harassment claims
  • Issues with wages and overtime
  • Poor performance or behavior
  • Workplace safety problems
  • Breach of employment contract
  • Paid leave and time off disagreements

As a LegalShield member, you don’t have to stress and guess about how to defend your business. Simply contact your lawyer and they can not only provide you with valuable legal advice, they can make phone calls and write letters to diffuse small employment disputes before they turn into huge headaches.

It has helped me review a retreat participant agreement to make sure I am fully covered, and everything is clear for my clients. I also have used it for a dispute with a marketing consultant who would not release files after termination.

What stood out the most to me was knowing that when life gets difficult, you have someone you can call who will actually help guide you through the situation calmly and professionally. That peace of mind means a lot.

Don't Delay: Had to come to the realization, that one day we will die, and didn't have a Will prepared for our adult children to settle our affairs.... We got a quick turn around. All my concerns and questions were professionally answered.

I recently contacted our LegalShield provider firm regarding a real estate question that couldn't be answered by our local real estate agent. The attorney was prompt and detailed in responding.
