Our Services
HR & Employment Law Compliance
HR & Employment Law issues are some of the most challenging yet necessary aspects of running a dental or medical practice. You can’t run a practice without the help and assistance of employees. However, if you are not complying with all the federal, state and local laws that apply to your practice, all that you worked hard to build can be shattered due to one misunderstanding of the law. There are a myriad of employment issues that can and will arise in the workplace such as:
Violating someone’s rights during an employment interview
OSHA Violations & Retaliation Complaints
Not following the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) when classifying and paying your employees
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Workplace Harassment
Violating the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) if an employee has a disability
Discrimination against an employee who is in a protected class and a host of other federal, state and local regulations which can impact your employees and their compensation
If you, your practice administrator or office manager are not staying on top of all theses and many more labor & employment laws, you are risking the financial stability of your practice.
Working with Dentist & Doctor’s Office Legal will help you feel confident that you are complying with all the laws that apply to your practice, so you can have peace of mind that you are protecting your practice from employment related lawsuits, fines and penalties.
Employee Handbook / Policy Manual Review Services
We know at Dentist & Doctor’s Office Legal that you as a practice owner are too busy to keep your employment handbook and policies current with the myriad of HR and Employment Laws that are constantly changing.
That’s why we created this much needed service to give busy dental and medical practice owners and their dental management staff peace of mind to know that the practices’ policy manual or employee handbook reflects the current changes in the law.
During our review process, our qualified experts will go through your practices’ policy manual or employee handbook to identify language or provisions that are:
Non-compliant with current federal and state employment laws that apply to your practice;
Identify and recommend provisions that are missing and should be included.
Upon completion of our review process, you will receive a report by email indicating the results of your Employee Handbook / Policy & Procedures Review indicating what areas or provisions need updating or are missing.
If you would like to take advantage of this wonderful service you can give our office a call directly at (248) 605-0280 or send us an email at info@dentistofficelegal.com indicating your interest in our Employee Handbook / Policy Manual Review Service.

Human Resource Law Counseling
We know that running your practice and staying on top of human resource issues can be hard. That’s why we work with our clients to legally address HR issues before they turn into lawsuits.
When running a busy practice, we know that you have to put your patients first. By putting your patients first, time-consuming but necessary tasks such as: human resource management, employee record-keeping, personnel file management, I-9 audits, exit interviews, job descriptions, compensation audits, labor law postings, hiring, onboarding and terminating employees, employee training and development and implementing human resource policies and procedures, all get put on the back burner.
Due to the fact that even the smallest human resource mistake can lead to a big legal fine or lawsuit, you can’t afford to make mistakes in your dental or medical practice. If you don’t have the correct human resource policies, procedures and HR Practices in place, you will not know how to determine if you have any mistakes, let alone how to correct them before they turn into big legal issues that can put your practice in financial ruins.
Did you know that if your dental or medical practice fails to comply with federal, state and local employment laws and regulations, you will be facing serious fines, penalties, lawsuits and worst of all, bad press which can all hurt your practice?
However, working with Dental & Doctor’s Office Legal will help your practice develop the necessary HR Practices, Policies and Procedures to help mitigate and prevent problems before the regulatory agencies come knocking at your door.
Give us a call today so that we can get your practice setup for an HR Audit, you will be glad that you did!
