A recent study suggested that employee issues are eating up as much as 40% of an employer’s week!  Much of that time is spent researching employment hiring practices and how they can legally deal with an issue: What should I say when terminating an employee?  How do I protect the company from legal actions?  Have I documented a previous incidence properly?  What do I say during an unemployment hearing?

There is an endless list of questions. Employee related issues should be handled professionally, consistently and without bias.  A third party human resource professional will assist in determining the proper course of action when dealing with difficult employee situations.

According to a study conducted by Jury Verdict Research, verdicts favoring the plaintiff increased from 49% in 1994 to 71% in 1999.  The median compensatory damage awards received by workers increased from $127,000 in 1996 to $200,000 in 1999.  The combination of rising employee litigation claims and increasing number in size of awards shifting in favor of employees creates a critical need for competent human resource personnel.  Call the hotline and get your answers.
