Q & A

I already have an HR Department. How will I benefit?

First and most important, as a regular member your HR staff will have phone access to an employment attorney. Members agree that this is an invaluable service. There are many other day to day issues most HR departments handle which prevent them from studying and staying current on employment law. It is difficult for busy HR departments stay on top of all legal matters, including ensuring that your organization is in compliance with applicable state or federal laws so you can avoid costly fines or potential lawsuits. TEC offers information and guidance to your human resource manager on a variety of human resources topics. Your HR department will greatly appreciate the expertise and the resources TEC has to offer them.

Why should our company join The Employers' Council?

TEC is designed to assist employers in one of the most complicated aspects of their business . . . employee matters. By becoming a member your business will stay informed and become educated in employment law issues. In addition, TEC is available to augment your organization’s internal resources, or to act as your own HR department if your organization does not have its own in-house human resource function.

Time and time again our members report the best reason for becoming a regular member is having priority access to attorneys for routine telephone advice on employment and labor law matters. If you should miss the attorney when calling, rest assured that phone calls are normally returned within hours, not days.

Why should our company join a statewide association when our corporate office is a member of other national associations who provide similar services?

Many Council members are California branches of a national corporation. The Council focuses on laws and regulations unique to California. Many employment situations must be dealt with quickly, and Council members have access to prompt legal help. For a nominal fee, the Council provides assurance that the corporation is compliant with California State laws and can help you avoid unnecessary penalties due to the differences in varying states laws.

Our company is a small business and has operated for years without a problem. Why should we join?

Whether small or large, employers today are faced with more complex laws and regulations than ever before. Membership in The Employers' Council can help avoid lawsuits and alleviate other problems before they lead to litigation. TEC will help you identify red flags which may lead to potential problems.
