INDUSTRIES SERVED

WHO WE HELP

At Jacobs & Associates, we don’t just work with industries — we work with people. The small business owner trying to follow the rules. The startup founder suddenly responsible for payroll. The third-generation restaurant owner doing things the way Dad always did — until the DOL came knocking.

We serve employers who care about doing things right, even when it’s hard. Whether you have one employee or a hundred, whether you're in hospitality or healthcare, we meet you where you are — and help you get where you need to be.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS LOOK LIKE

• A family-run diner in Queens trying to figure out tip credit rules
• A tech founder with a handful of employees and no HR
• A dentist worried their practice manager is misclassified
• A warehouse manager dealing with missed meal breaks and spread of hours
• A pharmacy owner who just got a visit from the Department of Labor
• A restaurant group trying to roll out consistent training and handbooks
• A nonprofit struggling to apply big-organization policies to a tiny team

IF YOU EMPLOY PEOPLE, WE CAN HELP

It doesn’t matter if you’re in hospitality or healthcare, retail or transportation, tech or trades — if you have workers, you have workplace obligations.

We support:

• First-time employers building compliant systems from the ground up
• Established businesses cleaning up long-standing practices
• Teams with tipped, hourly, seasonal, or salaried employees
• Employers facing complex challenges like audits, complaints, or turnover

LAWSUITS, LEASES & BUSINESS DISPUTES

If you’ve ever said “but this is how we’ve always done it,” we’re the ones to help you fix it before it becomes a lawsuit.

Even though we're industry-neutral, our experience runs deep in:

• Hospitality (restaurants, hotels, catering, nightlife)
• Healthcare (private practices, dental, home care, clinics)
• Retail and franchise operations
• Transportation and delivery companies
• Startups and early-stage tech
• Professional services (law, accounting, marketing)
• Warehousing and logistics
• Nonprofits and community-based organizations
