Let's dive in.
Small businesses face a number of legal issues that could range from simple issues with paperwork and filing tax deadlines to the liability with employees that could end in a courtroom battle. Understanding each issue and progressing from the start generally happens through the assistance and support of a lawyer, or in this case, an in-house law firm that works for you.
Legal Counsel for Employers
Wage and hour claims, workplace safety, leave complaints, and discrimination charges are just a few of the common legal issues that can arise for employers to be left to deal with. ChampionPEO emboldens employers to not only be proactive but to be prepared in the event of an employee-related legal issue.
Unemployment Claims
Each awarded unemployment claim can affect three years of UI tax rates. Employers often don’t realize the real cost of a claim since it’s spread out over a long period. The average claim can increase an employer’s state tax premium from $4,000 to $7,000 over the course of three years. By having a team of dedicated professionals tracking, investigating, and fighting unemployment claims for your business, you can rest assured knowing everything that can be done is being done to protect your business and your livelihood.
Legal Documentation
Different industries often require unique methods when approaching employment agreements and vendor contracts. When there is sensitive proprietary information being exchanged, certain measures must be taken in order to protect the confidentiality of information between both parties. Our in-house legal team can draft personalized legal documents for your business which will save you time and money.

Compliance is key
Governmental compliance is an ever-changing Rubix cube of rules, regulations, and red tape that all businesses must abide by and follow. No matter the size of your business, you must comply with various levels of regulations or you could end up facing stiff penalties. While compliance requires an understanding of federal and state employment law, those statutes can be quite complicated. That is where we come in. You run your business and we will make sure your doors stay open.
