Employment Practice

California employers face the constant challenge of complying with regulations that impact their workforce. Downey Brand works with employers throughout the state to make sure that personnel issues pose as little disruption as possible in the workplace. We meet with employers and develop a strategy for heading off problems before they have a chance to have an impact. With one of the largest employment practices in the region, we routinely review personnel manuals and employee policies, we counsel employers on benefits law (ERISA), we provide guidance on evaluating an employee's performance, we perform discrimination and harassment investigations, as well as provide advice on family and medical leaves, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. We also offer several comprehensive employee training programs for employers, managers and staff.
