Legal Notice

These materials include summaries of various laws and count rulings. Please be aware that many of these laws are quite lengthy, and the regulations which interpret them may be even longer. As with all summaries, there may be provisions which have been omitted from these materials which could be vitally important in certain factual contexts. Furthermore, these pages are not updated daily, so changes may have occurred which have not yet been included here. In addition, there may be federal laws, or the laws of other states, which govern the particular problem and which may be significantly different, so the answer to a particular legal problem may vary depending on a number of factors. Thus, these summaries should be used ONLY for general management education about employment laws or as preliminary tools to trigger further research, and not as a substitute for consultation with experienced legal counsel (who typically will review the full text of federal and applicable state law, the full text of all regulations, and the applicable federal and state case law before attempting to advise a client about the law which applies to the particular factual scenario presented).

Please be advised that no attorney-client relationship is established by your access to, or review of, materials on this Website. Please also note that these materials are copyrighted, and may not be reproduced, sold or used by any law firm, personnel consulting group or other persons/entities engaged in the business of providing personnel or employment law counselling to businesses, without the express written consent of Matthies Law Firm, P.C. Any other corporation or business entity (including non-profit group) may reproduce the same for their internal use only, provided that appropriate attribution is given to Matthies Law Firm, P.C. for the creation of these materials. By accessing any materials on this website, you acknowledge and agree to the foregoing limitations on your use of these documents, and further agree that any and all disputes arising out of your access or use of these materials must be brought in the courts within Tulsa County, Oklahoma, regardless of the place where you may have accessed these materials.
