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.

Good response to a moving company that attempted to aggressively bill in excess of what was represented by their agents. End result was a solution that resolved the matter which would otherwise have dragged on. Here's to the little guy.

I've decided to set up a trust. It can be complicated and it's easy to make a mistake that can derail all your efforts after it's too late to fix it. I feel confident I'll have trust that will protect my as well as my loved ones as I intend.

SIGH of RELIEF - Receiving help from Kristin, a real attorney, was so much of a relief re: Living Trust. She went over what I sent making sure my Trust was good for Oregon laws. Now I have peace of mind that there will be NO hiccups once we're gone.

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.
