Parker Poe attorneys have extensive experience representing health care clients in all stages of the employment process. We understand that successful management of employees is vital to our clients' success. From drafting employment agreements to enforcing non-competes and from complying with immigration laws to implementing reductions in force, we advise health care clients in their role as employers. Our attorneys regularly handle Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charges, including those that evolve into full-fledged litigation.

Experience Highlights

Counseling – As our clients manage their employees, they often benefit from advice and counsel regarding best practices and the impact of employment laws. We play a key role in advising our clients on these matters and interacting with the state and federal agencies – EEOC, OSHA, NCDOL – that have workplace authority. We can prevent or minimize the impact of many employment issues by reviewing employee handbooks, providing guidance as to new or amended employment laws, and conducting internal investigations. 

Litigation – Parker Poe has experience representing health care entities in both state and federal court. Our areas of employment experience include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the North Carolina Wage & Hour Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
