The labor and employment law attorneys at Foos & Lentz of Dayton represent employers in claims made by employment applicants as well as both current and former employees.
While many claims made by employees are legitimate, many others are not. They may be trivial in nature, not based on fact, or they may be malicious actions by people who are angry or just seeking to cash in. All these cases are important to a business because they affect the organization’s reputation and its ability to focus on business operations.
