One inappropriate joke or a missed overtime payment can turn into a costly lawsuit for a dental practice owner.

In this episode, attorney Ali Oromchian joins Art Wiederman to discuss common HR risks dentists face in their practices. They talk about how workplace jokes, inappropriate conversations, and even casual behavior can lead to harassment claims. The conversation also covers how to properly manage underperforming employees through documentation and performance improvement plans to reduce the risk of wrongful termination claims. They also highlight wage and hour issues, including paying employees for morning huddles, tracking lunch breaks, and properly handling overtime. The key takeaway is simple. Planning ahead and maintaining clear HR processes can help protect dental practices from costly legal problems.
