Related Practices
Attracting and keeping quality management and productive employees is perhaps the first priority of any business enterprise. The key to realizing that priority is the compensation and benefits offered by the employer. Salaries and wages are just a matter of dollars, but workplace benefits, incentives, profit-sharing and retirement compensation each involve tax considerations and compliance requirements. Bean, Kinney & Korman offers experienced and thoughtful counsel in these areas to clients in Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.
