Employment disputes can disrupt business operations, strain workplace relationships, and put a company’s finances and reputation at risk. These disputes may involve an employee’s termination, restrictions on competing or soliciting customers and employees, executive compensation and severance, workplace conduct, or unpaid wages and overtime. For example, a departing executive may dispute a severance payment while the company raises concerns about the executive recruiting its employees to a competitor.
