HANDBOOK

Handbook

If you’re using an old, outdated handbook, or even worse, one that you borrowed from another company, it’s time to toss it. So much of employment-related litigation is actually the result of flawed, obsolete, or non-existent written corporate policies and procedures. Companies of all types and sizes can effectively manage risk through the design and implementation of sound policies and procedures. Written policies covering common workplace issues such as attendance, disciplinary action, and complaints should be established and outlined clearly for all employees. Implementing clear, understandable policies and procedures will help your business to:

Promote organizational effectiveness

Establish fair and consistent employment practices

Establish legal compliance with federal and state laws

Create clear boundaries and company intent to all staff

Communicate to employees what is expected

Convey your corporate culture

Hit the ground running

An effective, well-designed employee handbook communicates policies, benefits and work standards to all employees in a single document. It provides an appropriate means to disseminate legally required policies, such as anti-harassment, family and medical leave, or drug testing policies. It also offers valuable guidance for supervisors regarding the implementation of company policies. A comprehensive employee handbook will lessen the potential of misunderstandings, keep your employees informed, and mitigate the risk of litigation.
