Employment Law For Business Owners with Gary Martoccio - Business Valuation Podcast Video Series | Valuation Expert Melissa Gragg Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com, your go-to podcast and video series for all things business and valuation. I’m your host, Melissa Gragg, a valuation mediator and expert based in St. Louis, Missouri. In this episode, I’m joined by Gary Martoccio, a seasoned employment attorney representing employees across nine states, based in Tampa, Florida. Today, we dive deep into employment law for business owners, exploring how to proactively prevent employment-related claims, what at-will employment really means, the nuances of employee contracts, and practical steps both employers and employees can take to protect their interests. We also discuss the evolving landscape around DEI programs, remote work accommodations, and how recent shifts in enforcement by the EEOC may impact your business or career. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ At-Will Employment Isn’t Absolute Employers can terminate employees without cause in at-will states, but discrimination, retaliation, and statutory protections (like FMLA) still create liability if mishandled.
