For sure avoiding lawsuits will help you to save a lot of money. That’s why is very importing how act regarding your employees. Treat them with respect because employees that are treated in a disrespectful way are more much likely to sue your company. If your employee is treated with respect, he may be more interested in approach you with concern rather then make an official claim against you.
As I observe during the time, it’s essential to make sure that all your employees know the policies of your company. Make public these policies and your employees will know what is expected of them as employees and you as their employer. Always follow your politics, it’s very easy to land in an employee lawsuit if you failure to follow your employment policies. If you have serious complains deal with them right away.
When we are talking about lawsuits a company should have always proofs. So, make sure you have notes of verbal warning and then put the files in your employee’s file. At the court, documents will place you in a more credible light. I read about this in this article: http://blog.eskill.com/ethical-hiring-work-decisions/, you may be interested too.

Law suits are never good, in the UK there seems to be a common view that ‘where there’s blame there’s a claim’.

Realizing you are not a lawyer, I have a question regarding docking exempt employees’ pay that’s been bugging me for a while, and since you speak to it in this article I thought now’s the best time to ask!

Let’s say a company offers employees the ability to take unpaid days off. If that day is taken by an exempt employee who works every other day in the week, is that “docking” their pay? It’s agreed upon by the employee, but how does that fall into line with the “if they work at all during that week, they must be paid their regular salary” I keep hearing about?
