Partner with legal counsel to ensure contracts appropriately balance organizational protection with operational flexibility. 16. Maintain consistency in contractual terms while addressing role-specific and jurisdiction-specific needs. 17. Oversee compensation structures, job classifications, and pay practices with an emphasis on internal equity and market competitiveness. 18. Administer employee benefits programs and vendor relationships. 19. Lead labor relations efforts, including employee relations strategy, investigations, and resolution of workplace issues. 20. Ensure compliance with OSHA requirements and workplace safety standards. 21. Oversee workers’ compensation programs, claims management, and return-to-work processes. 22.
