Employment
Employees are your team and company’s strength, they should not be a liability.
Employees are key to any business and can help yours grow and thrive. However, with employees come a number of legal requirements and challenges that your company will need to prepare for. It is important to have the proper paperwork in place when you hire an employee and during their tenure with your company.

As an employee, occasionally disputes will arise and it is important that you are informed as to your rights and what you should do if you believe those rights have been violated. California extends a number of protections to employees regarding wages and benefits, and as an employee or employer you should know these rights and how to protect them.
The Figueroa Law Group can help you navigate this field.
