SUBJECT: Employment Law Compliance Plan (Landslide Limousines)
In response to your request to have an employment law compliance plan for our client, Bradley Stonefiled who plans on starting a limousine service called Landslide Limousine, I have developed an employment plan which covers both State and Federal employment laws. Being in compliance with the Texas state employment laws, as well as Federal employment laws will greatly help out client in avoiding and penalties. The employment plan is based on Texas employment laws, which is where our client's base of operations will be. The employment plan will also include Federal employment laws which are relevant to our client's needs in helping him start his limousine service. I have also included the consequences for not being compliant with State and Federal employment laws.

Title IV (Employment Services & Unemployment) covers unemployment benefits and insurance which our client will be responsible. Failing to make unemployment contribution can result in a class "A" misdemeanor (Texas Statue, Chapter2).
Title V (Workers' Compensation) covers workers' compensation insurance coverage, workers' health and safety, and workers' compensation benefits. The
