Pennsylvania Employer Attorney

Kimberly H. Ashbach, Esq.

Throughout my years representing both individuals and businesses in employment matters, I have an especially sharp appreciation for the pitfalls involved in managing the employment relationship. The parties are best protected when there are clear written policies that are communicated to the employees by trained professionals. These policies set out guidance, boundaries and expectations that shape the relationship and the obligations of the involved parties.

Both sides benefit from having a rigorous system of written expectations, clearly articulated employment policies and ongoing and meaningful evaluations. It is also important for the employer to create a grievance procedure so that there is a process to resolve disputes in a fair and thoughtful setting.

I will work with you to establish an operating framework to limit your exposure to unwarranted employee claims as well as to provide a fair and just forum to resolve workplace grievances when they arise.

In my practice as an employment attorney, I represent small business clients in the Philadelphia Metro area and throughout the east-central Pennsylvania region in a full range of employment law concerns. If you own or represent a business, I can assist you with:

• Business process audit and review
• Wage, hour, and overtime issues
• Handbooks, policies, evaluations
• Compliance with other federal and state employment laws (ADA, FMLA, FLSA)
• ERISA concerns
• Executive severance / employment contracts

Because the consequences of a lawsuit, (sexual harassment discrimination, and wrongful discharge) can quickly take away everything you've worked so hard to establish, employment law demands a proactive approach designed to help your business avoid these disputes before they can become major legal liabilities.

I can work with you to audit the business practices your firm currently has in place and help you to draft policies and other documents that will protect you and your company both today and in future days to come.
