Navigate Employee Benefits With The Help Of Our Team

The world of employee benefits seems to become more complex over time. Employers often need direction from qualified attorneys to understand the opportunities, pitfalls, rights and obligations related to compensation and other forms of benefits.

We at Fuerste, Carew, Juergens & Sudmeier, P.C., counsel employers in a variety of industries regarding employee benefits packages. Serving Iowa and the tri-state area since 1965, we have a long, distinguished history of providing reliable legal counsel in employment law.

The areas we handle include:

  • Health care
  • Disability insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Unpaid leaves
  • Family leave in conformance with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
  • Benefits related to pregnancy and adoption
  • Care for a new baby or newly adopted child
  • Maternity leave and paternity leave
  • Leave to care for elderly parents or a critically ill spouse
  • Bereavement leave
  • Wage and hour benefits, such as overtime pay

We can also represent employers when laws change, disputes arise, or before hiring or firing employees. Our 50 years as a law firm have given us an in-depth understanding of employment matters in the region. With this strong background and our lawyers’ reputations for quality representation, we make an obvious first choice for employers seeking advice in the area of employee benefits.
