  • Paid time off, sick leave and bereavement policies.
  • Workplace safety requirements.
  • Pay transparency and equality.
  • Workplace harassment and discrimination.
  • Trade secret protections, confidentiality and competition restrictions.
  • Temporary employee and independent contractor issues.
  • Severance agreement provisions.
  • Hiring and job placement.
  • Retirement, savings, and profit-sharing programs.
