Employment Law Services for Manhattan Clients

Employment Contract Drafting and Review

Manhattan employment agreements often involve complex compensation structures including base salary, bonuses, equity grants, deferred compensation, and benefits packages. We draft and negotiate agreements that address every component of the offer.

Severance and Separation Agreements

Manhattan severance packages, particularly for executives and senior professionals, often involve substantial financial terms alongside restrictive provisions. We negotiate severance agreements to maximize your financial recovery while minimizing post-employment restrictions.

Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenant Analysis

Manhattan non-compete agreements are common in financial services, technology, media, and professional services. New York courts evaluate enforceability based on whether the restriction protects a legitimate interest and is reasonable in scope, duration, and geography.

Workplace Policies and Employee Handbooks

Manhattan employers face some of the most comprehensive workplace compliance requirements in the country, including New York City Human Rights Law protections, salary transparency mandates, and mandatory anti-harassment training.

Wage and Hour Compliance

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

What Manhattan Employers and Employees Should Know

Manhattan's employment market involves some of the highest compensation packages in the country, along with correspondingly complex employment agreements. Executive employment contracts, equity compensation plans, deferred compensation arrangements, and golden parachute provisions all require careful legal analysis from both the employer and employee perspective.

Manhattan employers are subject to New York City's pay transparency law, which requires salary ranges to be included in job postings. This requirement applies to employers with four or more employees and covers all positions, including remote positions that report to a Manhattan office.

Manhattan employees in finance, technology, and media frequently sign agreements with broad non-compete, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure provisions. Understanding the enforceability and scope of these restrictions before you sign, and before you consider leaving, is essential.
