• Hiring the Employee: Employment agreement requirements, types of agreements, secrecy and confidentiality, ownership of inventions, non-nationals, outsourcing, and sub-contracting
• Maintaining the Employee Relationship: Changing contracts and business ownership, insurance, discipline and grievance, harassment, discrimination, equal pay, training obligations, deductions, leave, unions, and vicarious liability
• Firing the Employee: Termination procedures, instant dismissal, resignation, types of termination, non-competition provisions, severance payments, tax provisions, and time limits for claims
• General: Unfair contract terms
