DiSC Introduction –William McNeal, MS

• “Hired for skills … Fired for attitude”

• “Dissimilar personalities and competing values”

• “The boss has it out for me”

• “The team is not as productive as before”

• “I don’t know what it is about Zed, but I don’t like him”

• “I’d rather work in the other office with that group instead of my

own”

• “Is it just me…”

• …in most cases, this can be fixed with DiSC!

Legal Ramifications, Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC

The Offer Letter

• Employment relationships are generally presumed to be

“at-will” (Montana is the exception to this rule)

• “At-will” means an employee can be terminated for any reason,

including no reason at all

– Limited exceptions under federal law (civil rights protections,

etc)

– An offer letter can unintentionally create an employment

contract

– Stay away from any “guaranteed” or “annual” language


Daniel

Employee Handbook- Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC

• A Handbook is not an employment contract and should not alter

the “at-will” status of an employee

– Be redundant

– A Handbook is a compilation of the company’s policies,

practices and benefits

– A Handbook provides standardized information to employees

– The goal is to ensure all employees are treated in a uniform

and consistent manner


• Practice what you preach

– Failure to follow the policies can open an employer up to

liability

– Being detailed-oriented could backfire

– Overly detailed discipline procedures

• The terms of the Handbook must be consistent with federal, state

and local laws



– Employment laws and policies set the baseline

• FMLA (Family & Medical Leave Act)

• New York City Sick Leave Act

• Exception: Anti-Harassment Policies (the law should be the

ceiling)



• Fair Labor Standards Act

• Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employees

– “Exempt” from the overtime pay regulations

– “Non-Exempt” employees are entitled, by law, to overtime pay

• Time-Keeping Records


Employee Handbook Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC

• Asset Protection

• Non-Disclosure/Confidentiality Agreements

– Non-Public Information

– Competitive Advantages

• IP Ownership/Work-For-Hire

• Non-Solicitation of Employees

• Personnel Manual or Standalone Agreement?


Asset Protection Daniel Bellizio, Esq. Bellizio + Igel PLLC

environment
