Employment Law Services for Long Island Clients

Employment Contract Drafting and Review

Long Island employers hiring for medical practices, franchise operations, professional firms, and service businesses need employment agreements that reflect the specific requirements of each position and industry.

Severance and Separation Agreements

Long Island employees receiving severance offers should have the terms reviewed, particularly the scope of any release, non-compete provisions, and whether the financial terms are appropriate given your tenure and circumstances.

Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenant Analysis

Long Island employers in healthcare, professional services, and sales frequently use non-compete agreements. These restrictions must be reasonable in scope and duration and must protect a legitimate business interest to be enforceable under New York law.

Workplace Policies and Employee Handbooks

Long Island employers must comply with New York State employment requirements including paid family leave, anti-harassment training mandates, and wage transparency obligations. Businesses with New York City operations face additional requirements.

Wage and Hour Compliance

Long Island 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. Long Island employers must maintain anti-discrimination policies, conduct required training, and respond promptly to complaints. We advise on prevention, investigation, and response.

What Long Island Employers and Employees Should Know

Long Island employers in Nassau and Suffolk Counties manage workforces in healthcare, construction, education, retail, and professional services. While Long Island businesses are not subject to New York City's employment ordinances (unless they have city operations), they must comply with federal and New York State requirements, which have expanded significantly in recent years.

Long Island medical practices and healthcare employers face additional employment considerations around credentialing, scope of practice, and compliance with healthcare-specific regulations that intersect with general employment law.

Long Island employees negotiating new positions should pay close attention to non-compete and non-solicitation provisions, particularly in healthcare, sales, and financial services where these restrictions are common and can significantly limit future career options.
