Jacqueline Shulman, Partner - Labor Relations & Employment Law Department of Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP states in a White Paper posted with The Network of Family Businesses that many family business owners believe their "close-knit" approach provides them with protections not enjoyed by the typical private employer. This wrongly held belief can be costly on two fronts. Aside from poor morale, it could lead to legal fees being expended for failure to comply with specific laws (especially discrimination lawsuits).
Shulman’s White Paper considers three significant issue Family Businesses need to understand: “At-Will doesn’t always mean what is says”; Unions don’t just go after big companies; and Families in Business must know their ABCs which includes state and federal employment laws and the host of other laws titled as an alphabet soup.
The White Paper can be found at www.netfamilybusiness.com and an On-Line Educational Seminar on these issues and more is scheduled with Shulman for September 13th at 11:00 AM EST. The On-Line Seminar is being sponsored and hosted by The Network of Family.
