Employees are often the biggest investment that a business makes.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2008, 70.8% of employment costs were wage- and salary-related.  The remaining 29.2% of employment costs include the following costs: 7.6 % for legally- required benefits, 8.3 % for insurance, 6.8 % for paid leave, 3.5 % for retirement, 3.0 % for supplemental pay. 

At Callison Tighe, we believe our job is to provide clients with advice that safeguards that investment.  Our attorneys have appeared in matters in federal and state courts across South Carolina.  We represent clients through all phases and types of employment litigation, ranging from individual discrimination charges at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and South Carolina Human Affairs Commission (SCHAC) through mediation, arbitration, and litigation. 

Our employment attorneys are well-versed in employment-related matters. Attorney Nekki Shutt has a background in human resources spanning over twenty years.  Attorney Malissa Burnette has been a certified specialist in employment and labor law since 1993.  Their experience enables the firm to handle claims of employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, wage and hour violations, entitlement to employee benefits (ERISA), misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential information, unfair competition, non-compete enforcement, defamation, and other employment-related torts.
