Synopsis

Provide your employees with a handbook that spells out your company's benefits, policies and procedures with this practical legal guide.

Every company, no matter how big or small, needs to provide workers with an employee handbook. Create Your Own Employee Handbook gives you all the information and policies managers, HR professionals and business owners need to create their own reader-friendly guide, no matter what state you live in. Each chapter covers a different topic, including:

at-will employment

hiring

pay and payroll

workdays and hours

performance evaluations

benefits

discrimination and harassment

complaints and investigations

leave

health and safety

substance abuse

privacy in the workplace

discipline

You'll get the lowdown on the legal and practical considerations that apply to each topic in your state, plus sample policies that you can use as-is, or tailor to meet your needs. The CD-ROM lets you cut-and-paste the language you need to complete your own handbook instantly.

The 4th edition is completely updated to include the latest developments in federal and state law, and covers emerging workplace issues such as lactation breaks, instant messaging, and new regulations for dealing with victims of domestic violence.
