Employment Law Services for Bronx Clients

Employment Contract Drafting and Review

Bronx employers in construction, healthcare, food service, and retail need employment agreements that protect the business while complying with applicable labor laws. We draft contracts that cover compensation, duties, confidentiality, and post-employment obligations.

Severance and Separation Agreements

Bronx employees facing termination or layoffs should have any severance offer reviewed by an attorney before signing. The agreement may contain provisions that affect your ability to work in your industry or pursue legal claims.

Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenant Analysis

Bronx employers should draft non-compete agreements that are narrowly tailored to protect specific business interests such as trade secrets, client relationships, or specialized training investments. Overly broad restrictions may be unenforceable.

Workplace Policies and Employee Handbooks

Bronx employers need compliant workplace policies covering anti-discrimination, harassment prevention, leave entitlements, and safety procedures. We develop employee handbooks and policy documents that meet current legal requirements.

Wage and Hour Compliance

Bronx employers must comply with federal and state wage and hour laws governing minimum wage, overtime, tip credits, spread of hours pay, and frequency of payment. Misclassification of employees as independent contractors or exempt employees is one of the most common and costly compliance errors. We audit classifications and ensure your payroll practices comply with applicable law.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

Federal, New York State, and New York City laws prohibit workplace discrimination based on protected characteristics including race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and national origin. Bronx employers must maintain anti-discrimination policies, conduct required training, and respond promptly to complaints. We advise on prevention, investigation, and response.

What Bronx Employers and Employees Should Know

Bronx businesses employ workers in construction, healthcare, food service, retail, and community services sectors that face specific employment law risks. Construction companies must navigate prevailing wage requirements on public projects. Healthcare employers must comply with credentialing and staffing regulations. Food service businesses face wage and hour scrutiny around tip pooling and overtime.

Bronx employers should be aware that New York's Paid Family Leave program requires most employers to provide job-protected leave for qualifying family and medical events. The program is funded through employee payroll deductions, but employers are responsible for maintaining coverage and managing leave requests properly.

Bronx employees who are terminated should understand their rights regarding final pay, benefits continuation (COBRA), and any severance or separation offer. Having the terms reviewed before signing protects your interests.
