Employee Relations Guidance

Effective employee relations are built on a foundation of clear communication, fairness, and consistent application of company policies. DMPC assists employers on key employee relations issues:

Discrimination and Harassment: DMPC ensures employers have robust policies and procedures to prevent and address discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and disability. This includes training for all employees and a confidential process for reporting and investigating complaints.

Accommodations: Failure to accommodate claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA and ADAA) and for sincerely held religious beliefs are on the rise. DMPC guides employers through the required interactive process to determine appropriate and effective accommodations.

Discipline and Termination: All disciplinary actions and terminations must be handled consistently and without bias. A well-documented process, including warnings and opportunities for improvement, can mitigate the risk of wrongful termination claims.
