Employee Handbooks

Producing and distributing an employee handbook is one of the best ways to protect your business from employee lawsuits and clearly communicate your company policies. The absence of a formal employee handbook or company policy manual, or a poorly drafted handbook, puts your company at risk for costly lawsuits and fines.

Handbooks and personnel policies communicate core information to employees and when designed and used properly, can serve as an organization’s best defense in employment law disputes. Handbooks and personnel policies are viewed as legal documents and are often introduced as evidence in employment-related disputes.

Are you protected? The Handbook is a combination of policies and procedures designed to be in compliance with wage and hour rules, as well as establish the work rules for managing the employees. A good employee handbook can avert many problems.
