Among the multiple challenges facing today's employers, labor and employment claims may pose the highest threat to productivity, profitability and, in some instances, even a company's existence, involving full blown litigation over wage and hour, discrimination, harassment, and wrongful discharge claims. In addition, employers often find themselves in violation of various labor codes despite their good faith effort to comply.
