Best Practices
Does
the firm assist clients with leave and benefits
issues?
The firm assists clients with leave and benefits
issues such as Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
requirements and HIPAA compliance materials.
Your
organization wants a drug testing policy –
are there privacy issues?
The issue of drug testing transcends all sectors,
from schools random drug testing student athletes
and government random drug testing to the business
sector, which includes issues such as business
ethics and drug testing. TREMITI LLC advises
clients regarding workplace drug testing and
privacy issues, and prepares sample employee
drug testing policies for its clients to review
and implement.
Should
employers consult counsel when considering selection
and psychological testing?
Before implementing any testing, including psychological
online testing, and/or purchasing exam testing
software, legal counsel should be consulted.
What
are examples of other privacy issues with which
employers must be concerned?
Employers must be concerned with email policy
compliance and internet legal compliance. For
example, does your organization have a comprehensive
policy governing internet and email use during
work? If so, has it been disseminated throughout
the organization? Is the policy enforced? At
minimum, a comprehensive policy should define
the subject matter covered, the employees covered,
acceptable use of email and internet transmissions
while at work, the importance of protected access,
prohibited uses, and consequences for violations
of the policy.
Your
organization needs employment documents –
should you consult counsel?
TREMITI LLC prepares employee handbooks, interview
questions, various agreements such as release,
telecommuting, temporary worker and independent
contractor agreements, and provides clients
with free templates for employment contracts.

The firm counsels clients about employment issues
that arise with mergers acquisitions planning.
For example, the firm assists clients with due
diligence matters, such as collective bargaining
obligations and contractual requirements, individual
employment contracts, outstanding employment
litigation and whether reserves need to be established,
WARNA compliance, reduction in force and pension
and severance pay issues.
Do
large organizations conduct compliance audits?
Large organizations may employ a certified compliance
officer to conduct compliance audits of their
employment and other business practices. Small
and mid-size employers might rely instead on
other measures, such as a case study on compliance.
TREMITI LLC would be pleased to assist its clients
in these endeavors.
