At Bend Law Group, we understand that running a business means more than just serving clients - it also involves managing employees, ensuring compliance and limiting risks and liabilities. Whether you're based in San Francisco or operating anywhere in California, our employment law services are designed to protect your business and keep you on the right side of the law. We’re here to help you create a productive, compliant and legally sound workplace.
The business attorneys at Bend Law Group will work with you to make sure your business is on the right track. Here are some of the ways we help you maintain a healthy, compliant work environment:
Employment laws are constantly changing, especially in California. From wage and hour rules to anti-discrimination policies, staying compliant is essential to avoid fines and lawsuits. For example, if you're running a tech startup in San Francisco, we can help you ensure your business meets all city, state and federal employment regulations. We'll guide you through setting up processes that protect both you and your employees.
Misclassifying workers can lead to costly penalties. For instance, if you’re unsure whether your remote team members should be classified as employees or independent contractors, we’re here to help. Or if your Bay Area business is growing, we’ll review your workforce classifications to help you stay compliant and avoid legal risks.
Clear agreements are key to avoiding future disputes. If you're hiring a new team member or contractor, having a well-drafted agreement in place can prevent confusion down the road. Whether you're a design firm in San Francisco bringing on a new employee or a startup hiring an independent contractor, we can help ensure your contracts are legally sound and protect your business interests.
An employee handbook sets the tone for your company’s culture and provides essential legal protection. We’ll help you create a customized handbook that includes all necessary policies, such as anti-harassment measures and time-off policies, while ensuring compliance with California’s complex employment laws. For example, if you're a small business owner in the restaurant industry, we'll help you outline clear rules for employees to follow, minimizing the risk of disputes.
When it’s time to part ways with an employee or independent contractor, you need a separation agreement that protects your business. For instance, if you're restructuring your California business and need to lay off employees, we can draft comprehensive agreements to ensure a smooth transition while safeguarding your interests.
Without solid employment policies, your business risks running into costly legal issues. Non-compliance with California’s strict employment laws can lead to lawsuits, fines and damage to your company’s reputation. We can help you create a legally compliant workplace, avoiding the pitfalls that could threaten your business.
