Employment Law

Employment law continues to be an evolving and complicated area of law for public schools. Beyond the traditional topics of bargaining of union contracts and employee discipline proceedings, employment law also encompasses general labor relations, to include contract administration, personnel and hiring policies analysis and fringe benefit issues. Employment law also includes employee evaluations, administrators’ Act 93 agreements, employee handbook preparation and analysis, assistance in dealing with attempts by unions to organize your employees, defense of discrimination complaints and other civil rights claims, and unfair labor practice charges. These areas can have serious legal consequences if not handled correctly.
