Policies, Handbooks, & Contracts
A company’s policies and procedures, typically contained in its handbook, are essential to defining and managing the working relationship with its employees. Ramey & Flock helps employers ensure that their policies and procedures are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and reflect the company’s goals and culture.
At a time of rapidly changing rules and aggressive enforcement by regulators, employers must be proactive in their compliance efforts to avoid liability or unnecessary work disruptions.
In addition, Ramey & Flock’s attorneys can assist in planning, conducting, overseeing, or, if necessary, defending internal investigations of complaints or reports made by employees.
Our attorneys counsel employers in all areas of employment contracts, including the hiring process. We review and draft employment contracts of all kinds and, when necessary, represent clients in litigation regarding alleged breaches of employment contracts.

Wage & Hour
There has been a substantial increase in wage-and-hour lawsuits in Texas and nationwide over the past few years. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) wage-and-hour liability is a risk employers of all sizes and in all industries face. The FLSA and the accompanying regulations are notoriously complex and easy to inadvertently violate. Ramey & Flock’s attorneys are experienced in advising employers regarding compliance, representing employers in Department of Labor investigations, and representing employers in wage and hour lawsuits.
Leave Entitlements
Dealing with employee leave entitlements and requests for disability accommodation are a recurring challenge for employers. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) place strict requirements on employers to carefully address leave of absence and accommodation requests. This area rife with potential pitfalls, and Ramey & Flock’s employment attorneys can help your business with both compliance advising and litigation representation regarding leave and accommodation matters.
