In many cases, an employer waits too long before consulting an employment lawyer. It always begins with a small problem, a minor defect in the employment contract; a small disagreement between employer and employee; a stupid remark (or “funny joke”) by an employer, or office manager, to an employee. But if you don’t act on it promptly, it ferment like an old wine, and before you know it, it has already gone out of hand.
Make sure to contact an employment lawyer as soon as you become aware of an employment law issue. Time is of the essence, and the sooner you fix a problem, the cheaper it will cost.
