FAQs About Employment Law

  • What is the FMLA and how does it apply in Pennsylvania?

    The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with unpaid, job-protected leave for family or medical reasons. We help you determine which employees qualify and ensure your policies comply with FMLA rules in PA.


  • What are the most important employment documents for my business?

    Every business should have a compliant employee handbook, onboarding documents, offer letters, and signed confidentiality or noncompete agreements—customized to your state and team structure.


  • What are Pennsylvania’s maternity leave laws?

    PA doesn’t have a separate maternity leave law, but employers must follow federal FMLA and ADA requirements. We help you create compliant and inclusive leave policies.

  • What’s the difference between labor law and employment law?

    Labor law typically covers unionized workforces, while employment law addresses broader issues like hiring, workplace policies, and employee rights. We handle both as part of our business compliance legal services.


  • How do I know if I’m violating business compliance laws?

    Many violations happen unintentionally—especially around pay, overtime, leave, or recordkeeping. We offer compliance audits and counsel to help identify and fix problems early.
