Glen P. Doherty

Glen represents employers and management in all aspects of labor and employment law, with particular emphasis on employment discrimination, wage and hour litigation, wage and hour collective and class actions, multiple-plaintiff litigation, sexual harassment, employee benefit litigation, non-competition and wrongful discharge litigation, employee-contractor classification, union organizing campaigns, unfair labor practices, collective bargaining, project labor agreements, and withdrawal liability.

Glen's practice includes advice and counsel on a broad range of matters such as discipline and discharge, wage and hour compliance, workplace investigations, governmental audits, drug and alcohol testing, safety and health compliance, handbooks, EEO compliance, reductions in force, plant closings, and negotiation and drafting of critical employment documents, including restrictive covenants, executive employment agreements, commission plans, and releases (group and individual). 

Glen regularly conducts corporate investigations related to claims of discrimination and harassment in the workplace.  Although his practice includes investigation of allegations of sex, age, race, disability, religion, gender and other protected class discrimination, Glen's primary focus is the investigation of allegations of sexual harassment and hostile (toxic) work environment.  He has conducted investigations for clients in a wide variety of industries, such as manufacturing, construction, healthcare, insurance, public sector, legal services, nonprofit, pharmaceutical and financial services.  

Consistent with the breadth of his practice, Glen is a frequent lecturer on a wide range of employment and labor topics for various bar associations and employer groups. He has also written on such diverse topics such as the litigation of discrimination claims, interviewing, background checks, wage and hour audits, offer letters and employment agreements, layoffs, workplace investigations, arbitration of individual employment claims, settlement agreements and lawyers as employers. Since 2000, Glen has authored Labor and Employment Practice Review, a monthly article published by the Albany County Bar Association.
