Employment Law Services for Westchester Clients

Employment Contract Drafting and Review

Westchester employers hiring for professional practices, healthcare operations, and service businesses need employment agreements that protect confidential information and define the terms of the relationship clearly.

Severance and Separation Agreements

Westchester employees offered severance should review the agreement carefully with counsel. Non-compete clauses, non-solicitation provisions, and claims releases can significantly affect your future employment options.

Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenant Analysis

Westchester employers, particularly in healthcare and professional services, frequently use non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. These provisions must be carefully drafted to be enforceable under current New York law.

Workplace Policies and Employee Handbooks

Westchester employers must comply with New York State employment mandates including paid family leave, anti-harassment training, and wage notice requirements. We develop compliant policies and handbooks for Westchester businesses.

Wage and Hour Compliance

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

What Westchester Employers and Employees Should Know

Westchester County employers, including professional practices, healthcare operations, and service businesses, face evolving employment law requirements at both the state and federal level. Recent changes to New York's wage transparency, non-compete, and leave laws affect how Westchester businesses hire, compensate, and manage employees.

Westchester employers with employees who work remotely or split time between Westchester and New York City may be subject to NYC employment ordinances for those workers. Understanding which jurisdiction's rules apply to each employee prevents compliance gaps.

Westchester executives and professionals should have employment offers and severance agreements reviewed by counsel before signing. The terms of these agreements affect your compensation, restrictions, and legal rights for years after the relationship ends.
