In the Foundation of the American Subcontractors Association’s new video-on-demand, “Employment Law Mistakes Most Commonly Made by Subcontractors,” attorney Philip J. Siegel, Hendrick, Phillips, Salzman & Siegel, discusses steps subcontractors can take to minimize potential liability for employment law matters.

- Severance pay;
- Documenting disciplinary actions;
- The importance of written job descriptions;
- The importance of having—and following—a discrimination and harassment policy; and
