Labor and Employment Services at Kendricks Bordeau

Our attorneys assist employers throughout the business lifecycle, drawing on their extensive experience, knowledge, and skill in all aspects of labor and employment law. Staying current on new developments in labor and employment law is a priority, since changes occur frequently. We make sure our clients receive the latest information about laws and regulations and other developments that affect their business operations.

In advising employers, we build a detailed understanding of the client’s business, including their operations, needs, and goals, which enables us to provide counsel for labor and employment matters based on the actual context of the business. This approach is essential to the personalized service we provide.

Guidance on Statutory and Regulatory Matters

Our practice includes counseling employers on all of the federal, state, and local statutory and regulatory provisions that affect their business. These areas include, but are not limited to:

• Fair Labor Standards Act
• Employee Right to Know Act
• State and federal civil rights laws
• Disability laws and regulations
• Family and Medical Leave Act

Counseling on statutes and regulations includes providing guidance on regulatory and compliance issues and complaints, as well as on internal employment and policy concerns and issues, including disciplinary matters. We review, write, and provide advice about employee handbooks and policies to keep our clients compliant and away from legal claims.

Legal Representation

In addition to guiding employers in laws and rules that apply to their operations, we represent clients before federal and state regulatory and administrative bodies with authority over labor and employment matters. Our representation extends to labor mediations, arbitrations, and administrative matters with agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board, the Michigan Employment Relations Commission, and the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.

Our traditional labor practice includes experience bargaining private and public sector labor contracts, arbitrating grievances, and guiding employers through union organization efforts, in addition to handling NLRB and MERC complaints.
