Attorneys: Joseph M. Price Richard W. Gallagher David S. Russo Michael A. Kawash Mary E. Snead

State and federal employment statutes and regulations impose a wide array of obligations and attendant risks on West Virginia employers. Among the top priorities for most employers is the avoidance of litigation surrounding hiring, discipline, promotions and demotions, terminations, and occupational safety and health. Robinson & McElwee routinely provides advice and training to West Virginia employers and human resource professionals regarding cost-effective strategies for preventing potential litigation regarding human resource issues.

Our attorneys, some of whom also possess advanced human resource degrees or instruct post-graduate courses on labor relations and human resources, routinely help clients avoid employment litigation through:

• Affirmative Action
  
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  
• Employment Issues for Supervisors of Bargaining Unit Employees
  
• Employment Issues for Union Free Supervisors
  
• ERISA
  
• Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

• National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Procedures
  
• OSHA Compliance
  
• Risk Reduction in Hiring and Discharge Cases
  
• Sexual Harassment Avoidance, Policies and Procedures
