Create Your Own Employee Handbook : A Legal & Practical Guide for Employers (Edition 9) (Paperback)

Every company needs an employee handbook, but not every company has one. Lawyers charge thousands of dollars for a handbook; other "do-it-yourself" products don't offer the updated legal information and careful guidance necessary to do a good job. Create Your Own Employee Handbook bridges the gap, with detailed explanations, information on current state and federal laws, and more than a hundred sample policies you can tailor to your own workplace. 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.

Find the latest legal information, practical suggestions, and best practices on:

• wages, hours, and tip pools
• at-will employment
• time off
• discrimination and harassment
• complaints and investigations
• health and safety
• drugs and alcohol
• workplace privacy, and
• email and social media.

The 9th edition covers recent updates to state and federal laws, including rules on paid family leave, changes in the wake of #MeToo, and much more!
