"We told them to submit paperwork and we never heard back."

We hear this as a defense. Courts don't accept it.

The ADA's interactive process is an ongoing obligation — not a one-time form. When an employee requests an accommodation, or when you have reason to believe one may be needed, the law requires a genuine, documented dialogue.

This applies to physical conditions, mental health accommodations, pregnancy under the PWFA, and religious beliefs.

The interactive process is more than a conversation. It's a legal obligation.

A small payroll mistake can become an expensive employment dispute. Wage and hour issues can expose employers to back wages, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees, and more. And the risk may not stop with one employee.

When one employee is affected, everyone in that role may be too.

Misclassification, overtime errors, off-the-clock work, timekeeping practices, and improper deductions can create broader exposure across an entire position or group of employees.

Protect your business. Bohreer Law Firm can audit your wage and hour practices to identify potential risks.

Here's what we're seeing in outdated handbooks right now:

🚨 Remote work policies that don't reflect how your team actually operates
🚨 Social media policies written before half your current platforms existed
🚨 AI and technology use almost entirely missing
🚨 Leave policies that haven't caught up with the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
🚨 At-will language that's contradicted elsewhere in the document

The real challenge? Getting employees to actually read, understand, and engage with them.

Bohreer Law Firm helps Houston employers audit and update their handbooks strategically, not just legally. And goes the extra mile to help train your team.

August is the month that sets the tone for everything that comes next: budgets, headcount decisions, performance reviews, policy updates, and year-end terminations.

Every one of those decisions carries legal weight. This month, we're sharing practical guidance on the issues that matter most right now:
1️⃣ Handbook and policy audits
2️⃣ Manager training
3️⃣ Workplace investigations
4️⃣ Termination best practices
5️⃣ Year-end compliance

Follow along and reach out when something lands close to home.

We see it often: a company with warm leadership, real values, and genuine investment in their people who have never separated internal culture from reporting requirements.

Those are two different systems. And when something goes wrong, both have to work.

You can have a great culture and still fail legally if your compliance systems are informal or undocumented.
You can have perfect paperwork and a toxic workplace.
You need both working together, not substituting for each other. We can help.

This is where employers get into trouble. The instinct to keep it informal — protect the manager, skip the paperwork — can backfire badly if things escalate.

Here's what best practice looks like:
✔ Take notes. Date and time the conversation.
✔ Ask open questions without leading the narrative.
✔ Explain your internal process even if they say they don't want one.
✔ Consult employment counsel before deciding not to investigate.
✔ Never promise confidentiality you can't keep.

The goal isn't just resolution. It's handling it in a way that holds up later.

If it isn't documented, it becomes much harder to prove.

Undocumented verbal warnings, informal conversations, and "everyone knows" performance issues are nearly impossible to defend.

Start the paper trail early. Be consistent. Be specific.
Any questions? We're here.

Most companies hand a new manager a handbook and call it training. Then they're surprised when things go sideways six months later.

Here's what's almost always left out of manager onboarding:
❌ How to document performance issues in writing that will hold up legally
❌ How to handle accommodation requests under the ADA and PWFA
❌ What to do when an employee brings an informal complaint to them
❌ How to navigate leave without triggering FMLA liability
❌ What retaliation actually looks like — because it's rarely what managers expect

This is all trainable. Bohreer Law Firm builds manager training programs tailored to your team, your industry, and your real-world risks.

The EEOC has been busy in 2026 and Houston employers need to pay attention.

Here's what we're watching heading into Q3:
1️⃣ AI in hiring. Discrimination claims tied to algorithmic tools are on the rise. Using AI doesn't shield you from liability.
2️⃣ Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Implementation is here. Are your accommodation policies updated?
3️⃣ Harassment training scrutiny. Regulators are asking whether training is effective, not just whether it happened.
4️⃣ Pay equity. The EEOC continues to prioritize equal pay enforcement across industries.

The enforcement environment is tightening. Employers who haven't reviewed their policies recently are carrying unnecessary risk.

We track these changes so our clients can lead with confidence. Contact us: 832-856-3006
