Employment and contract law: The most important casino operations issues
Contract oversight and federal wage and hour law can become your most complex legal issues when you are working with diverse vendors and work groups over the course of a 24-hour workday. John Maloney's ability to intervene effectively through contract practices, employment policies and procedures, and early reporting can keep small work-related problems from becoming expensive regulatory compliance matters that threaten your gaming license.
The level of detail, monitoring, reporting and compliance that the law requires can be confusing, even to the most experienced gaming vendors and operators. The advice of an experienced lawyer can help prevent the technical violations that could eventually threaten your gaming license.
John Maloney can help you avoid legal problems in the three most common areas of casino operations:
- Failure to file the annual financial reports
- Failure to conduct due diligence of vendors
- Inadequate screening or supervision of employees
Making sure you are in compliance
Many routine operations in the gaming industry run the risk of violating the terms of a statute, regulation, or the terms of a vendor contract or operating license. For example, when gaming devices were shipped together with their respective software to a casino, and without providing ten days' advance notice to the county sheriff, two license violations occurred: the software should have been shipped separately, and the sheriff should have been notified — as required by law.
Isolated, infrequent instances of non-compliance such as these might not become a problem, but a pattern of minor violations would certainly raise problems when the license came up for renewal. Our firm can help your operation avoid the little problems that can add up to an investigation that threatens your casino.
