Employment law attorney for Monroe employers and HR teams

Employment Law Services for Employers

Watson, McMillin & Street advises businesses, banks, and nonprofits on hiring practices, policy development, and workplace risk management. Our focus is employer representation across Monroe, West Monroe, Ruston, and surrounding communities, with guidance that fits your size, industry, and staffing model.

HR Policies and Employee Handbooks

We draft employee handbooks that set expectations on attendance, leave, conduct, and complaint procedures. Policies address anti-discrimination, harassment prevention, and investigations, and they match Louisiana and federal law. Clear procedures support training and create consistent documentation across locations.

Employment Agreements and Compliance

Our attorneys prepare non-compete agreements that comply with Louisiana’s geographic and activity limits, plus confidentiality, invention assignment, and bonus or commission plans. We also review classification, wage and hour practices, and separation agreements to reduce later disputes.

Workplace Dispute Resolution

When complaints arise, we investigate facts, respond to an EEOC charge, and defend claims through agency processes or in court. Early assessment can resolve most issues with targeted training, revised practices, or negotiated separation terms.

Training and Ongoing Guidance

Supervisors and staff benefit from regular training on harassment prevention, documentation, and interview do’s and don’ts. We provide updates when laws change so policies and forms stay current.
