Two Ward and Smith labor and employment attorneys evaluated a real-life scenario many employers face while managing employees in the modern business environment.
The roundtable discussion, part of Ward and Smith’s Employment Law Symposium, challenged attorneys to share their insights on workplace issues such as employee nonperformance, social media posts, and how to minimize risk exposure in regard to termination practices.
Session presenters included Justin Hill, a labor and employment attorney, and Devon Williams, a labor and employment attorney who is also one of the firm’s Managing Directors. To begin, the attorneys presented a hypothetical situation involving Full Throttle, LLC ("Full Throttle"), a fictional company that quickly grew as it pivoted from making beer koozies to masks.
As mask demands grew, Full Throttle started hiring for vacant company positions both in North Carolina and across the United States. The result was that the company quickly grew to include 45 full/part-time employees and 30 independent contractors, many of whom work remotely in several states.
