Our Employment Law Practice
Hein Schneider & Bond P.C. has experience representing both Missouri employers and workers in complex legal matters. Our St. Louis team can assist clients at every stage of an employment relationship, from onboarding negotiations to severance agreements and post-employment conflicts. When employment law issues arise, we can help professionals and employers navigate the matter effectively.
Our employment law practice is comprehensive and entails representing employers and employees in all aspects of employment law, including creating policies and handbooks, employment contracts, noncompete agreements, and severance agreements. Also, we represent clients involving claims of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or wrongful termination.
Helping Clients Create Solid Employment Framework
Our business clients need to ensure that company policies, training materials, employment handbooks and contracts comply with the law and effectively protect the organization’s interests. Outdated policies and fill-in-the-blank contracts do not sufficiently address the exposure of modern employers.
We can assist with the creation of custom contracts that help secure the best talent without leaving the company unnecessarily exposed. We can ensure that employment contracts dovetail with company policies and employee handbooks to minimize opportunities for confusion and conflict.
Assisting Professionals With Contract Matters
Successful professionals often require assistance when reviewing and negotiating contracts with their employers. We can assist with an analysis of employment contracts and also with negotiations during the onboarding stage.
Hein Schneider & Bond P.C. can also support professionals during exit negotiations to help them preserve their severance packages. Proper review can minimize future professional challenges related to overly broad restrictive covenants.
Noncompete agreements are common inclusions in employment contracts and separation or release agreements. We can help negotiate balanced terms or review restrictive covenants to ensure compliance when a professional takes a new job or starts their own company.
Navigating The Termination Process Effectively
Disagreements about terminations are common. As an at-will employment state, Missouri does not impose obligations on either businesses or employees seeking to terminate a working relationship, as long as neither party violates the law or the existing employment contract.
There may sometimes be questions about the validity of a termination. Workers may allege wrongful termination occurred if they believe they lost their jobs due to retaliation or discrimination. We can assist with a review of employment records and contracts to ensure everything is legally compliant. We can also assist with appropriate legal action in cases where a clear violation of the law or an employment contract occurred.
