Employee Discipline at Your Law Practice

It’s no secret that lawyers work long hours at the office. These long hours often induce stress in many lawyer’s lives. As an employer, it’s important to be aware of this. Workplace stress often leads to workplace conflict.

Although conflict in the workplace is not uncommon, dealing with conflict as an employer is never an easy task. Disciplining employees without extensive experience often opens the door to employment litigation.

In order to avoid such litigation, employers should have clear disciplinary standards, and evidence that the employee was given notice of these standards. Does your firm currently have a discipline policy that will not limit your right to enforce appropriate disciplinary measures?

Many PEOs also provide EPLI (Employer Practice Liability Insurance) which helps protect and defend your firm from employee lawsuits such as wrongful termination. For more information on PEO solutions, contact us today.
