June is the ideal time to hit pause, reflect on your operations, and proactively address any potential legal risks before the second half of the year. Here’s a quick legal checklist every employer should consider reviewing—and why it matters.
1. Employee Handbooks
Are your policies still compliant with state and federal regulations? Update handbooks to reflect any changes in PTO, sick leave, remote work policies, or workplace conduct standards.
2. Employment Agreements
Review your offer letters, non-competes, and executive contracts for enforceability and accuracy. Ensure they align with your current compensation and benefits structure.
3. Vendor and Client Contracts
Reassess liability clauses, payment terms, and termination provisions. Tighten up any vague language that could expose you to disputes.
4. Succession Plans and Buy-Sell Agreements
If you’ve had staffing or ownership changes, update your succession plan and revisit your buy-sell agreement to reflect current leadership and valuation goals.
5. Compliance and Licensing Records
Verify that your business licenses, registrations, and insurance policies are up to date and properly documented.
Stay ahead of potential risks by taking action now. Schedule a mid-year review with PSE Law and finish the year strong.
