Employers should know that the employee handbook is one of the documents that is reviewed by attorneys who are looking to sue them. Having an employee handbook is critical to a company and updating it with all the necessary policies is crucial. Labor research has proven that Employers have a delay in implementing new regulations and adding them to Employee Handbooks or stand-alone policies.
New regulations go hand in hand with employee handbooks and standalone policy updates. As a compliance officer, I am always providing support to Employers and professionals and see what the gaps are when protecting employees. Federal, State, and local regulations have an impact on maintaining workplace compliance and Employers need to be aware that when Federal, State, and Local regulations clash the regulations with the most benefit for the employees supersede.
That is why it is essential to be aware of and follow all workplace regulations.
Now more than ever, Employers need to ensure employee handbooks are up to date, and consistent and include all new regulations and changes that involve the workplace. This training will focus on some of the major errors made when updating employee handbooks and how to avoid some of the large penalties.
No matter what state you do business in, or how many employees you have, you will be subject to state and federal employment laws. Your handbook not only communicates these various entitlements and obligations to employees but is helpful in demonstrating that your organization strives to comply with these regulations. Do not underestimate your employee handbook's legal impact on your risk strategy!
