Conversely, by failing to adhere to local and federal laws and/or best practices, companies can find themselves exposed to huge, unexpected liabilities.
Some common pitfalls of employers include failing to adopt policies to protect their trade secrets and intellectual property, misclassifying employees as exempt under Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), misclassifying employees as independent contractors under the Texas Unemployed Compensation Act (TUCA) and drafting unenforceable non-competes or arbitration provisions.
