I have three kids three and under. Like I have time on the weekend to come up with 172 anythings…let alone something requiring a scintilla of creativity, save channeling my inner Andy Warhol at the children’s museum yesterday — 4 likes on Facebook for the uncensored version, yo.

So, instead, check out this Workplace Flexibility Kit from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy. It purports to provide 172 resources (case studies, fact and tip sheets, issue briefs, reports, articles, websites, other toolkits, and frequently-asked questions) all designed to enhance workplace flexibility (e.g., time, location, and manner in which an employee works).

You know that scientist in the action movie who has all the right answers if only the government would just pay attention? If you want a nerdy employment-lawyer brain to help you solve HR-compliance issues proactively before the action sequence, I’m here to help. I'm not only an EEOC-approved trainer, I offer day-to-day employment counseling, workplace audits and investigations, and other prophylactic measures to keep your workplace working while you focus on running your business. And for those employers in the midst of conflict, I bring all of my know-how to bear as your zealous advocate. I’m a trial-tested, experienced litigator that has represented companies of all sizes in a veritable alphabet soup of employment law claims, such as the ADA, ADEA, CEPA, FMLA, FLSA, NJLAD, PHRA, Title VII, and USERRA. I also help clients litigate disputes involving restrictive covenants such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as conflicts over use of trade secrets and other confidential information.
