Skelton & Woody has experience representing employers and employees in all aspects of litigation. We have handled cases involving allegations of wrongful discharge, equal pay act claims, violation of wage and hour laws, workers' compensation, discrimination, political firing, retaliatory discharge, as well as age, race and gender discrimination. We represent employers and employees in both the public and private sectors.

In this vein, Skelton & Woody assists employers by reviewing and designing personnel policies, employee handbooks, and personnel training to minimize potential claims. Additionally, the firm takes an active role in advising employers on how to comply with the new and amended employment laws produced each year. |
