How to avoid the pitfalls of employee handbooks – what you don’t know could hurt you
Learn from experienced management-side labor and employment lawyers how to get the most out of your organization’s employee handbook. We’ll cover what state and federal laws say you must have in a handbook, what you ought to seriously consider for your handbook and what should not be included. You’ll gain a clear understanding of what must be included in the handbook, as well as what should be included. Most importantly, you will interact with litigators who have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of hundreds of employee handbooks once they are implemented and put to the test in court.
Benefits for YouLearn the nature of at-will employment – what does it all mean?Make sure your handbook includes provisions regarding protected leaves and time offAvoid legal pitfalls and serious mistakes by brushing up on new issues like social mediaDevelop a concise, effective handbook – without hassle
