She helps guide employers through complex federal, state, and local employment laws as they apply to all aspects of the employment relationship, from hiring and promotion to discipline and termination. Employers also rely on Janae for assistance with wage and hour compliance, workplace accommodations and leave of absence requests, and internal investigations of alleged workplace misconduct, including allegations of harassment and retaliation.
