An employee handbook tells employees what the company expects of them and what they can expect in return. Employees read it when they join, when they consider leaving, and when they consider suing, so it must be kept current.
This 90-minute webinar explains which laws, regulations and policies belong in your employee handbook. Many companies rely on one-size-fits-all online templates, but a handbook that isn't tailored, updated regularly, applied consistently and aligned with current regulations can be a major risk.
You'll look at state-by-state requirements, criminal background checks, harassment rules after the MeToo movement, pay practices, the NLRB's role, and the records you must keep, protect and eventually destroy.
Employment attorneys often ask for the handbook first when pursuing charges against an employer. A well-built handbook reduces risk, while a poor one exposes you to fines, penalties and even criminal sanctions.
Employers also hold large amounts of paper and digital employee data and must know what to keep, for how long, and how to keep it confidential. The session suits owners, executives, HR, compliance and payroll staff, federal contractor department heads and managers.
