Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand El Paso Employment Attorneys
Our experienced El Paso employment attorneys & lawyers can help guide you on how to proceed with various employee decisions such as reviewing employee documents such as contracts, agreements, policies, and handbooks, along with difficult decisions such as firing, lawsuits, claims, and complaints.
Although not every single employment contract will require legal assistance, many employment lawyers would recommend avoiding unilateral employment contracts that strongly benefit one side over the other. These types of employee contracts rarely hold up in court, yet having the funds needed to combat an issue in court can limit the employee’s options.
A confidentiality agreement and a non-compete agreement are common forms of employee contracts that one of our El Paso employment attorneys can help customize for your business. If your business needs to fire an employee, proper measures should be taken from a business legal standpoint to ensure proper communication and a smooth transition of dismissing that employee. In any case, we suggest you connect with our employment attorneys to discuss your options.

Employment Disputes Consultation
"I had the pleasure of working with Chris on a complex legal matter, and I can't speak highly enough of my experience. Right from the start, he brought a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put me at ease. It was evident that he was not just looking to resolve the issue expediently; he was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Navigating legal challenges can often feel overwhelming, but having Chris in my corner was like having a secret weapon. He was transparent, communicative, and incredibly diligent. Every step of the way, I felt not only well-represented but also well-informed. One thing that stood out was his impeccable attention to detail. Nothing was ever too small to merit his full attention, which I found not only reassuring but also quite impressive. He brought a level of nuance to the case that I hadn't even considered, ultimately making a significant difference in the outcome. And let's talk about responsiveness—emails, calls, you name it, Chris was on it. It felt like having a trusted advisor available 24/7, which, given the stakes, was enormously comforting. If you're in need of an attorney who will give you top-tier service with a sprinkle of personality, look no further!"

What is a 1099 Employee?
A 1099 employee is one that doesn't fall under normal employment classification rules. Independent contractors are 1099 employees. Instead of having a permanent worker that takes direction from the company, your business would use an independent contractor who works under their own guidance.
The difference between a 1099 employee and others is usually easy to recognize. One example of an independent contractor is a painter hired to paint your home. They will not be your employee after finishing the job.
If you need a permanent employee, the 1099 distinction is not correct. Someone who has to show up

Work for Hire: What Is It?
Work for hire is any created work that can be copyrighted like songs, stories, essays, sculptures, paintings, graphic designs, or computer programs. In the U.S., work for hire — shorthand for the term "a work made for hire" — applies if the created piece is part of a person's job or made by an independent contractor.
Instead of the creator keeping the copyrights, the copyright and publishing rights belong to their employer. For example, when a staff writer drafts a blog for his employer, the company becomes the author and assumes the copyrights for the blog. All areas of copyright ownership now belong to the company, including credit for the blog and control of the blog. Work for hire is part of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 and changed the go-to rules of copyright ownership. Work for hire applies in two situa
