One of the most expensive employment law mistakes can happen before an employee’s first day of work.

You leave a secure position after years of service because a new employer offers a promising opportunity.

A few months later, you’re terminated.

Many employees assume their severance entitlement is based only on the time they spent with their new employer. That’s not always the case.

Courts may consider whether an employer actively recruited or induced an employee to leave stable employment. In some circumstances, that can significantly increase the notice period owed upon termination.

The legal analysis often starts long before the dismissal itself.

If you were recruited away from secure employment and later terminated, it is important to understand your rights before accepting a severance package.

A “minor” injury can still change everything.

The X-ray looks fine.The doctor clears you.The insurance company closes the file.

But you are still waking up in pain. Still missing work. Still not feeling like yourself.

The legal impact of an injury is not determined by a diagnosis alone. What matters is how the injury affects your ability to work, function, and live your daily life.

Many of the most serious consequences are not immediately visible — and they are often underestimated or overlooked entirely.

AI is changing hiring and workplace decision-making faster than many employers realize.

But here’s the legal reality: employers can still be responsible when AI tools create discriminatory or unfair outcomes even when those systems come from third-party vendors.

The growing Workday litigation in the U.S. is becoming a major warning sign for employers using AI in recruitment and HR processes.

Now is the time to review:
✔ workplace AI policies
✔ employment agreements
✔ vendor contracts
✔ human oversight safeguards

At Zitan Law, we help employers navigate the evolving legal risks at the intersection of AI, employment law, and human rights.
