An employer's apprehensions following an employee's DUI/DWI can vary significantly. They may worry about reputation, insurance rates, and trustworthiness. Our first approach is to help you comprehend these concerns and devise a plan to address them professionally and proactively.
Strategies to rebuild trust and demonstrate renewed responsibility become a focal point in our plan. We provide coaching on how to have an open dialogue with your employer, stressing the value of transparency and commitment to positive change.
Legal Protections for Employees
Many people are unaware of the legal protections that may apply to their situation after a DUI/DWI. Job safety might be influenced by several factors, including employment contracts, union agreements, or state laws. We'll help you navigate these complex waters.
Our knowledgeable team can assess the protections that could apply to you. We ensure you have a clear understanding of what your rights are as an employee and how to employ those rights to safeguard your position.
Negotiating Workplace Arrangements Post-DUI/DWI
At times, continuing in your current job role may require negotiating new terms or workplace arrangements. This could involve discussing changes to your work schedule, duties, or even a temporary leave of absence. Our goal is to help you maintain employment while fulfilling any legal obligations.
Effective communication tactics and negotiation skills can be the key to retaining your job post-DUI/DWI. We'll guide you through how to approach these discussions and advocate for arrangements that serve both you and your employer's interests.
