Heather R. Hammond is a shareholder at Gravel & Shea in Burlington, VT. She focuses her practice on advising companies on compliance, training, and litigation in employment and human resources law. Over the past 12 years, she has helped dozens of Vermont and regional companies create and maintain productive, inclusive, employee-centered workplaces by emphasizing clear communication, transparent decision-making and legally compliant business practices.
While Heather provides advice on a broad range of employment matters, she specializes in helping companies avoid harassment and discrimination in the workplace, comply with state and federal laws such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act, and train new management staff in best practices. She helps companies navigate new state and federal laws — from minimum wage increases and sick time requirements to hiring form restrictions and sexual harassment policies.
