Employment Law for Township Operations

The decisions township officials make every day have a direct impact on the employees they lead and the communities they serve. Navigating those responsibilities requires not only an understanding of the law, but also the practical judgment to handle difficult situations fairly and effectively.

Today, Airdo Werwas, LLC, Member Mark J. Kimzey will be in Springfield, Illinois, presenting as part of an Office Management course hosted by the Illinois Property Assessment Institute (IPAI) during the 2026 Township Officials of Illinois (TOI) Conference.

His presentation, Hiring and Managing Employees in the Assessor's Office: Legal Issues and Best Practices, will explore the employment challenges facing township assessors, from hiring and interviewing to managing employee performance, documenting workplace concerns, and navigating difficult personnel decisions.

Through our work with local governments, we understand how important it is for township leaders to have practical guidance they can confidently apply in their offices. We are grateful to IPAI for the invitation and the opportunity to contribute to these conversations.

We look forward to spending time with the dedicated professionals whose work helps keep Illinois communities running every day.
