Private Entities
Union and non-union employers face a variety of challenges that may hinder their overall success as a business. Whether it is discrimination claims, improper employee conduct investigation, policy and procedural developments, or employee benefit monitoring, the Labor & Employment Team attorneys can assist clients with compliance in the ever-increasing volume of federal and state laws.
For union employers, interacting with unions is essential in the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements. Effective negotiations afford management the freedom to operate the business and meet the financial and employment needs of its employees. This positive management/labor relationship enhances the ability of the parties to resolve labor disputes at the earliest opportunity, decreases the potential for disruption of business, and improves the company's bottom line.
Public Entities
Maiello, Brungo & Maiello's Labor & Employment Team is knowledgeable in every facet of the laws affecting public employers and employees, including the requirements of the Public Employee Relations Act (Act 195), the Pennsylvania School Code, Act 111 (Police and Firefighters), and all state and federal employment laws applicable to such entities. Known as one of the preeminent School Law firms in western Pennsylvania, our representation of public entities has also included counties, municipalities, and municipal authorities. Issues represented include employee discipline and discharge, grievance and arbitration resolution, contract management, furlough, retirement, and disputes over wages and benefits.
Training and Compliance Review
The attorneys in our Labor & Employment Team are often called upon by clients to conduct periodic audits and reviews of personnel policies and procedures including writing or revising policies contained in employee handbooks. Of equal importance is the enforcement of policies and proper training of management and rank-and-file employees with regard to attendant rights and responsibilities. We provide our clients with ongoing legal advise on such matters.
