Employers may unintentionally violate employment laws and never realize the risk they create for the company. Trying to provide some flexibility for an employee, saving money for the company, or just being nice are all ways that an act of kindness can become a business liability.
Below is a list of the top 10 mistakes that may lead to employment lawsuits. Keep in mind that this list will not apply to all employers, as regulations and collective bargaining agreements may override these general rules.

Once again, there's proof that it pays to shop on Del Prado.
The Shop Del Prado shop local Lantern District incentive program, created by the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the city of Dana Point, presented another couple with their winnings June 16 in front of
Jack's Restaurant & Bar on Del Prado Avenue.
For every $10 spent at a Del Prado Avenue business, customers who turn in their receipts at the chamber office are given one chance at winning the annual drawing.
Kenneth and Irene Braun of Dana Point are the June winners, thanks to a receipt they turned in from Jack's, one of their favorite eateries.
The Brauns' winnings include an over-night stay at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, dinner for two at Jack's and a prize package from The District Salon.

Berkshire Hathaway California Properties:
Susan Helton
After a successful career in business and finance, Susan Helton's personable fun style led to her natural inclination and interest in architecture, home d?cor and working with people as a Realtor. Before entering real estate, Susan worked as a CPA and International Tax Specialist, beginning her career for Coopers and Lybrand, one of the Big 4 accounting firms. This gave her the skill set to understand and interpret the financial side of a real estate transaction from a high-level and unique position.
Susan Helton's career change to residential real estate allowed her to combine her creativity and love of meeting people with her experience in finance. Susan provides a professional, strategic financial approach unmatched by her peers, and effortlessly partners that skill with an emphasis on friendly, personal client service that goes well beyond expectations.
For Susan, the creation of a long-term relationship goes far beyond the individual transaction. Many of her highest-end clients delight in working with Susan repeatedly because she understands the logic of tax and finance (even for home owners who own multiple properties and investment properties), while still understanding the inherent importance of building a foundation for one's family and friends in the home of their dreams.
Susan Helton is a Luxury Properties leader in the Monarch Beach office of Berkshire Hathaway California Properties, while still serving her clients in the greater Pasadena area after living and working there for several years. Susan's broad architectural and historical knowledge in each location helps homebuyers feel immediately acclimated, while home sellers know they've found a true partner who understands the eclectic and unique value of their homes.
