Employment and Employee Benefit Plans

An effective benefits program can attract top talent and promote retention, but it also requires strict compliance with federal and state regulations. Our attorneys assist employers in creating and maintaining benefit plans that meet legal standards and business goals.

We advise clients on:

• ERISA compliance (Employee Retirement Income Security Act)
  
  
• Health and welfare benefit plans
  
  
• Retirement and pension plans
  
  
• Deferred compensation arrangements
  
  
• Executive benefit packages
  
  
• Employee incentive programs
  
  

Our legal team ensures that benefit structures are fair, sustainable, and compliant with IRS and Department of Labor requirements. We also assist with employee benefit audits, plan amendments, and dispute resolution involving plan administration or fiduciary obligations.

By aligning your company’s benefits strategy with both your workforce needs and regulatory obligations, we help you maintain a compliant, competitive edge in today’s marketplace.

Executive and Employee Compensation

Well-designed compensation plans are essential for attracting and retaining skilled professionals. However, compensation issues often intersect with tax law, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance — making it vital to structure them correctly.

At Jostock & Jostock, we guide employers through every phase of compensation planning and implementation, including:

• Drafting executive employment agreements
  
  
• Designing performance-based compensation plans
  
  
• Stock options, bonuses, and deferred compensation
  
  
• Tax-efficient compensation strategies
  
  
• Compliance with wage and hour laws
  
  

Our attorneys help employers balance competitive pay structures with fiscal responsibility and legal compliance. We also advise on Section 409A compliance and executive severance agreements, ensuring every compensation arrangement supports long-term business objectives.

When disputes arise regarding wage claims or incentive programs, our firm provides strong representation to defend your business interests and protect your reputation.

Employment Policies and Workplace Compliance

A company’s policies define its culture — and its legal protection. We work with business owners to develop and update employee handbooks, HR policies, and workplace procedures that reflect Florida’s current employment laws.

Our attorneys provide counsel on:



• Anti-discrimination and harassment policies
  
  
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) compliance
  
  
• Workplace safety and OSHA standards
  
  
• Remote work and technology use policies
  
  
• Termination and disciplinary procedures
  
  
• Employee privacy and data protection
  
  

By maintaining proactive, well-drafted policies, employers can reduce liability and build a culture of compliance. We also conduct HR compliance audits to identify and correct potential legal vulnerabilities before they lead to disputes.

Employment Contract Drafting and Review

Employment contracts establish the foundation of the employer-employee relationship. Our attorneys draft, negotiate, and review a wide range of employment-related agreements, ensuring that your business interests are clearly defined and protected.

These include:

• Offer letters and employment contracts
  
  
• Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  
  
• Confidentiality and intellectual property clauses
  
  
• Severance and termination agreements
  
  
• Independent contractor agreements
  
  

We tailor each contract to your organization’s structure, industry, and objectives — safeguarding your proprietary information and reducing the risk of disputes.

Should conflicts occur, Jostock & Jostock, P.A. provides skilled representation to enforce or defend contractual terms in mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings.

Employment Dispute Resolution and Litigation Defense

Even the most well-managed businesses may face employment disputes. Our attorneys offer aggressive yet practical defense strategies to resolve conflicts efficiently and protect your company’s reputation.

We represent employers in disputes involving:

• Wrongful termination claims
  
  
• Discrimination and harassment allegations
  
  
• Wage and hour disputes
  
  
• Breach of employment contract claims
  
  
• Retaliation and whistleblower actions
  
  

Our team works closely with employers to evaluate risks, explore early resolution opportunities, and, when necessary, provide strong representation in state or federal court.
