Please see our Labor and Employment Practices page as well.
Our Labor & Employment team is proactive, focusing on resolving workplace issues before they become problems. We tailor the goals of every consultation with an eye toward minimizing the risks of litigation and future exposure. Our overarching objective is to help our clients avoid battles down the road.
In addition to providing practical, cost-effective advice, we also serve as a resource for clients when they need referrals to human resources consulting firms or immigration lawyers.
Our clients include global companies, regional businesses and local start-ups from industries including transportation, health care, technology, retail, manufacturing, financial services, nonprofit and insurance. Our attorneys often serve as outside general labor and employment counsel to both domestic and foreign-based businesses.
We provide counseling in the following areas:
Accommodations for disability, pregnancy and religious needs
Schnader attorneys are well-versed in the rights of employers and employees and can assist in creating documentation of the interactive process and other communications in order to comply with federal, state and local requirements.

- Preparation of affirmative action plans;
- Advice on federal contractor compliance;
- Training on the above issues; and

Discipline and Discharge
We work closely with clients to satisfy all obligations under federal, state and local laws regarding discipline and discharge issues. We also draft and implement plans for reductions in force (RIFs) and plant closings subject to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN).
Discrimination & Harassment
With discrimination claims on the rise, equal employment policies and practices are coming under increased scrutiny. We counsel clients on compliance with federal, state and local equal employment opportunity laws with an eye toward avoiding litigation. To this end, we perform disparate impact analyses, provide employment practice audits and conduct training programs for human resources professionals. We also have substantial experience defending employers against discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims in court and before agencies including the EEOC and Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission.
Employment Practices Audits
Audits are a simple way to evaluate compliance with employment laws and address issues before they become problems. We provide audits for overall employment practices, as well as specific issues such as wage and hour, health and safety, pay equity and disability accommodation.
ERISA & Employee Benefits
We assist clients with both ERISA and non-ERISA drafting, planning and counseling. We also advise on multiemployer pension plans.

We develop and implement strategies to protect employers against corporate raiding and employment practices that amount to unfair competition. We also safeguard our clients’ trade secrets. When necessary, we enforce non-compete and confidentiality agreements, prosecute claims of theft of confidential information and trade secrets and secure injunctions where breaches of non-compete agreements have occurred.

We counsel clients on all types of wage and hour issues, including: worker classification as independent contractors or employees; classification of employees as exempt or non-exempt and proper overtime calculations; executive compensation; and recordkeeping requirements. In addition, we regularly defend employers against wage and hour lawsuits, including class and collective actions and claims of misclassification.
