Virginia Business Compliance

Attorney James R. Theuer, Assisting Clients with Business Compliance in Virginia.

Businesses in Virginia face ever-increasing regulatory burdens, including in managing their workforces. 

For instance, legislative changes in Virginia in 2020 increased the potential liability of businesses from errors in wage payment, misclassification of employees as independent contractors, discriminatory employment practices, failure to display required postings, missing policies in handbooks, and missteps in a host of workplace practices.  Prior to those Virginia legislative changes, many businesses were not even subject to certain legal regimes as they fell below the necessary threshold in size under Federal law.

Businesses need to be proactive in adopting personnel procedures for hiring, discipline, employee management, and termination that both comply with requirements imposed by law and guide supervisors and managers in day-to-day decision-making to keep the business in compliance, improve employee retention, reduce turnover, and safeguard the business’s property and resources.  These proactive measures include personnel policies, handbooks, job descriptions, employment agreements, and timekeeping procedures.

Theuer, PLLC, has the experience and expertise in employment law to guide Virginia businesses through the myriad regulatory requirements and difficult personnel decisions that are inevitable in the life of any business.  Employment law is not intuitive with many traps for the unwary—Virginia businesses need a resource to create and manage effective workforce policies.  James R.
