Labor & Employment
For many years, Satterlee Stephens Burke & Burke has represented employers in connection with all the various problems and issues involving their relations with their employees.
Our clients include every form and size of organization, ranging from multinational corporations to local businesses, and cover the spectrum of the nation's economy. We are particularly active in the financial, cultural, publishing, and philanthropic sectors. We are fully familiar with the National Labor Relations Act, Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act and the multitude of other federal, state and local laws governing employment.
On a daily and continuing basis, we provide advice about all aspects of the employment relationship, for both unionized and non-union employers, such as:
- employee discipline and discharge;
- reductions-in-force;
- development of personnel policies and procedures;
- preparation of employee handbooks;
- negotiation and drafting of employment agreements;
- equal employment opportunity, affirmative action and occupational safety and health requirements;
- immigration regulations and procedures;
- wage and hour practices; and
- delicate employment situations, such as issues arising from allegations of sexual harassment and employee privacy.
Our labor law experience is frequently sought in connection with corporate transactions, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations and bankruptcy proceedings.
