Keep your company protected with a foolproof employee handbook.

Many employers are in the dark when drafting or revising employee handbooks. Laws are constantly changing, and there is no comprehensive area to receive these updates to ensure policies comply with the law. Many non-union employers do not understand the impact the National Labor Relations Board has on their workplaces.

 This topic helps point out the common pitfalls with employer handbooks, and provides legal updates that should be translated into compliant policies for the workplace. This topic will also address the relevant National Labor Relations Board decisions impacting every employer's handbook policies as well as tips for drafting compliant policies. Out of date handbooks are a common point of litigation, and can open employers up to a host of legal issues.
