Employment Law

General Contractors Beware

Paul Steinhofer · October 28, 2022 ·

General contractors should be aware that simply paying workers’ compensation insurance premiums for a subcontractor will not provide them with the exclusive remedy protection under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · June 28, 2022 ·

Undoubtedly, this week and for many weeks, months or years to come, a hot topic of discussion among Americans will be the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v.  Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturning Roe v. Wade.  This is perhaps one of the most polarizing issues in this country and one of the most significant […]

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · March 15, 2022 ·

Small to midsize businesses often do not have legal teams to advise them on the types of insurance coverage they need to protect their businesses.  They rely upon the broker to assess their needs without fully understanding what an insurance policy is.  Below are some insurance coverage basics for both the novice and a refresher […]

Milena Crevar · December 30, 2021 ·

The pandemic has undoubtedly caused many people stress and is forcing them to quit their jobs to prioritize their mental health, child care, elder care or other issues.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance (“EPLI”) Is A Must For New, Small And Midsized Businesses

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · November 18, 2021 ·

All employers should have employment practices liability insurance, otherwise known as an EPLI insurance policy.

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · November 12, 2021 ·

Where are the workers?

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · November 9, 2021 ·

The help wanted signs are everywhere. What happened to all the workers? There is not a single industry that is not affected by the lack of willing and capable earners. This issue is not just isolated to the restaurant or retail shops. It is also an issue with teachers, medical professionals, attorneys and the like.

Sexual Harassment Is A Pervasive Problem: Employers Need Policies, Training to Prevent and a Good Employer’s Liability Insurance Policy

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · October 8, 2021 ·

By now most of Illinois, if not beyond, is aware that yet another major celebrity (this time a famous Chicago radio host), has been accused of sexual harassment in court pleadings. It has been years since the Me Too movement began, and stories still arise about sexual harassment in the workplace. Still!

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · May 7, 2021 ·

More than a year has passed since businesses moved to a virtual format in the wake of the Covid-19 global pandemic. Covid-19 is still circulating and new strains, including some more virulent strains, are still a concern for much of the world. We can no longer assume that the remote work place is merely a […]

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · January 13, 2021 ·

The world watched as thousands marched in protest and others stormed the US Capital Building this past week. The identities of few but the faces of many have been displayed on mainstream media and social media channels. Some with more frequency than others. Some of those faces may belong to your employees.
