Why do employees sue employers and what do they sue about?
Does it really matter any more?

Employment lawyers are happy to piece together workplace litigation and class action suits based on minimal infractions, they know that their claims do not necessarily have to pass the common sense litmus test when a case goes to trial. If common sense had anything to do with it, would the never ending stream of ridiculous employment lawsuits have ever prevailed?

The key to avoiding litigation is documentation

The most useful single document for avoiding a lawsuit by an employee is an indisputable acknowledgment that the employee has read and has understood the working policy of your business or organization. Plaintiffs' lawyers hate employee's acknowledgments, and with good reason. A concise record of continued acknowledgment cuts off many of their favorite theories at the knees, and can prevent them from even taking a case, let alone filing a suit.

A better way to Win!

If an employee sues you or your company and it goes to trial, what do you win? You could end up paying a lawyer tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of dollars to defend the case. Even if you win, you're still out of pocket. Unscrupulous lawyers know this, essentially extorting 'out of court' settlements from companies that simply don't have the resources to fight the case. The U.S. legal system stacks the deck in favor of the plaintiff, against the defendant. Many employment lawyers specialize in contingency fee lawsuits in which they're paid a percentage of whatever they win for their clients, encouraging them to file spurious lawsuits against people just like you.

Since a new lawsuit is filed every 30 seconds, the average business owner stands the chance of being sued several times in his or her lifetime. Under the current judicial system, any suit, no matter how apparently worthless, can result in a ruinous judgment.
