The materials on this site may not be reproduced, sold or used by any law firm, personnel consulting group or other persons engaged in the business of providing personnel or employment law counselling to businesses, without the express written consent of Matthies Law Firm. All other corporations and business entities (including non-profit group) may reproduce the same for their internal use only, provided that appropriate attribution is given to Matthies Law Firm for the creation of these materials. By accessing any materials on this website, you agree to the foregoing limitations and further agree that any and all disputes arising out of your access or use of these materials must be brought in the courts within Tulsa County, Oklahoma, regardless of the place where you may have accessed these materials. This website is not a solicitation to perform legal services, nor is any legal advice being given by this website. Please consult your own legal counsel for advice on specific employment law issues of your business.

Special caution should be used in reliance on the summaries of federal and state employment laws, as many laws summarized are quite lengthy, and the regulations which interpret them may be even longer. As with all summaries, there may be provisions which have been omitted from these materials which could be vitally important in certain factual contexts. Furthermore, these pages are not updated daily, so changes may have occurred which have not yet been included here. In addition, there may be federal laws or the laws of other states which govern the particular problem, and the answer to a particular legal problem may vary depending on a number of factors.

Likewise, provisions in the sample Employee Handbook may be entirely lawful in one state or locale, and yet illegal in another. Thus, the sample Handbook and all legal summaries should be used ONLY for general management education about employment laws and policieis, or as preliminary tools to trigger further research, and not as a substitute for consultation with experienced legal counsel (who typically will review the full text of federal and applicable state statutes, the full text of all regulations, and the applicable federal and state case law before attempting to advise a client about the law which applies to the particular factual scenario presented).
