COUNSELING
At IEL, our attorneys offer comprehensive compliance counseling and strategic guidance to employers on various employment matters, including employee handbook and policies, hiring and termination, wage and hour, performance management, FMLA issues, ADA accommodations, discrimination, harassment, and compliance with OSHA laws. IEL attorneys understand the intricate interplay of these laws and collaborate with employers to determine the optimal path forward.

TRAINING
Employers frequently overlook training that would enable them to avoid claims and liability in a variety of areas. IEL provides training to employees of all levels of the organization, including supervisor and manager training on employment compliance topics including FLSA, FMLA, ADA, OSHA, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (including anti-discrimination and anti-harassment), and performance management. With our membership programs and Law for Leaders, we equip employers to prevent legal issues proactively.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT DEFENSE
IEL provides defense to charges filed with the Idaho Human Rights Commission (“IHRC”) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”). IEL attorneys can assist you in working toward a no-cause determination and otherwise prevent claims made at the administrative level from morphing into prolonged, expensive litigation.

INVESTIGATIONS
IEL attorneys serve as impartial third-party investigators, conducting thorough workplace inquiries to provide an objective assessment of situations and involved employees. Additionally, we offer policy and compliance reviews, and we train employers and HR personnel to conduct their own internal investigations effectively.
