Create Your Own Employee Handbook

A Legal & Practical Guide for Employers

About this book

Avoid legal problems and run a productive workplace with an up-to-date employee handbook!

Anyone who hires and supervises employees needs clear policies when it comes to crucial issues like pay and overtime, medical leave, and social media. Create Your Own Employee Handbook provides everything business owners, managers, and HR professionals need to create (or update) a legal and plain-English employee handbook.

You'll learn all the top tips and practical suggestions for creating a polished and thorough employee handbook that addresses your company's policies on:

  • wages, hours, and tip pools
  • remote work
  • at-will employment
  • discrimination and harassment
  • complaints and investigations
  • health and safety
  • alcohol and drugs, including medical/legal marijuana
  • workplace privacy, and
  • email and social media.

This new edition will address how to draft an employee handbook in an environment where employees might be permanently remote or working a hybrid remote schedule.

With Downloadable forms: All policies and forms—along with modifications and alternative language you can tailor to your workplace—are available for download details inside.
