There has been a sharp increase in recent years in the number of claims filed against employers at the labor courts. This has mainly stemmed from an employer’s inability to access full information and training with respect to their obligations. Such claims call for an employer to invest signficant time, financial and other resources.
Presenting information to employers with respect to their duties can help prevent lawsuits. It is for this reason our Labor and Employment Law department is leading a “preemptive case management” program designated to help employers act in strict compliance with the provisions of labor law, serving as a protective firewall against unnecessary legal expenditure.
The program includes:
Examining the corporate structure and legal environment.
Examining the manner of engagement – personal agreements, collective agreements and expansion orders.
Examining engagements and agreement with freelancers or contractors versus invoices including supplier-customer agreements to disqualify employment relationships.
Examining the organization’s compliance with labor laws – fulfilling obligations under statutes such as minimum salary, work and rest hours, wage protection, employment of women, sexual harassment, pension and more.
Examining validity and legitimacy of the company's documents relating to procedures, guidelines, salary slip, employee notice, changes in employment terms, termination documents and more.
Drafting codes of conduct.
