Product Description

An employee handbook should be an accessible resource that benefits both employers and employees. Employee handbooks promote the mission and values of an organization while also setting forth critical policies and practices. Additionally, a welldrafted employee handbook encourages consistency amongst management, can be used to orient new employees, and provides guidance for human resources issues. It is critical, however, that employers regularly review their employee handbooks to ensure they are updated to reflect their business needs and remain in compliance with state and federal employment laws. This program focuses on how employers can maintain lawfully compliant handbooks that are useful tools for management and staff, but do not create avoidable problems.
