Arizona Employment Lawyer

Gunderson, Denton & Peterson, P.C.: Business’ Choice for Employment Law Disputes

Employment law is a complicated field, thanks in part to the overlapping of national, state and local law and the constantly shifting priorities of society. Arizona employment law covers a broad scope of areas, and implicates a number of other legal areas, including disability law, social security disability claims, and business and corporate law. As a result, a competent Arizona employment lawyer needs to be able to handle a diverse range of issues and shift seamlessly from one set of issues to another from timeshare contract cancellation to more pressing issues such as discrimination. Competent handling of Arizona employment law not only requires an understanding of the historical progression of law in this area but also competent research skills to find a rational basis for newer interpretations.

Sample Employment Law Matters.

Q: An employee quit and has filed paperwork to get back pay. I am selling the business so who is responsible for paying the debt?

I own a small daycare and have just gotten in over my head. One of my employees quit because she was caught taking money from me. I owe her around $3000.00 in back pay. I am in the process of selling my business and my question is if she files against me who is responsible me or the new owner. I have the intention of paying her but will need time to come up with the amount owed.

A: It depends in part upon how the purchase is structured and how your business is set up. Although it’s complicated, the big picture is that if you sell your entire business to the buyer, then the new buyer will have the liability. If instead you sell only the assets of the business, then the new buyer will not have the liability. There are exceptions to this, and you will want to consult with a lawyer who does these kinds of deals for small businesses. I would think that you will have leverage against her as a result of her taking money from you. You have to be careful to use this leverage in a legal way.

In addition, you will want to talk to a lawyer who is familiar with whether you really have to pay the back pay, as well as (heaven forbid!) additional penalties owed as a result of the delay. You may have an argument that you don’t need to pay some or all of the back pay, depending on how much the former employee took from you or otherwise hurt your business.
