Labor & Employment
The ever-increasing size and complexity of payroll, personnel and timekeeper databases make it difficult for organizations to make business decisions and respond to legal claims on employment discrimination issues from employees, employment applicants, and federal and state governments. The entire human resources spectrum of hiring, compensation and bonus, training, experiential or commission assignments, performance evaluation, promotion, and separation creates risk for both private and public sector entities. When the world’s top organizations face legal disputes involving these risks, they and their external counsel rely on FTI Consulting as a trusted, independent provider of employment dispute resolution support and advisory.
