Retail
Retail employers, both large and small, face a myriad of legal issues when it comes to the retail workforce. Issues related to compensation, benefits, leave, scheduling, uniforms, expenses, and safety are constantly changing on federal, state, and local levels almost as fast as the workforce changes itself. Keeping up-to-date and compliant with all of these laws and regulations is nearly impossible without a partner to help monitor legal changes, counsel on best practices, and defend against potential complaints or violations. Having worked extensively with our retail clients, our firm understands the range of compliance issues that retailers face, whether single location employers or multi-state operators.
