Employee Handbook Questions?

Posted by James W. Creenan | Sep 29, 2018 | 0 Comments

Employee Handbooks should give your employees a clear direction on workplace rules and policies.  When properly drafted, maintained, and enforced, these Handbooks can protect a company from employment related liabilities.

 What are the essential elements?  According to www.thehrspecialist.com, these are some of the must haves:

  • Letter from President 
  • Brief History
  • At Will Acknowledgement 
  • Work Hours and Breaks
  • Time off, leave, absenteeism
  • Use of Company equipment, IT, and personal use 
  • Dress code
  • Alcohol and drug use
  • Misconduct and insubordination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Pay procedures, bonuses, reviews
  • Expense reimbursement
  • Probationary period
  • Termination and resignations
  • Benefits
  • Safety Rules

Our Counsel Access Plan members receive an annual review of Employee Handbooks included in the annual service fee.
