We are fluent in hospitality.
Our experience serving your industry has earned us a deep understanding of hotel and restaurant operations. This familiarity enables us to speak your language and get to the heart of your labor and employment law needs. For instance, we know to ask how you handle “service charges;” how you round your time clocks; who participates in your employees’ tip pools; when and how you pay commissions for front-desk upsells; whether your sous chef is classified as exempt; how you handle room credits for housekeepers; whether your employees are “on-call” even when on break; and whether you use temporary labor from an outside vendor. We apply this expertise in every area of our practice to better serve you. We are not a general practice firm; we are a firm dedicated to you.
