Employee Handbooks — Do’s and Don’ts

December 9, 2014 2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT

 

An employee handbook can be a great tool to orient new employees and to communicate key policies to both new and current employees. A good handbook will help to establish consistent practices, offer guidance to employees and managers, and provide the employer with significant help against labor and employment litigation. A poorly written or out-of-date handbook can hurt more than it helps, though. Join us for this 75-minute intermediate level webinar to learn:

  • Why every company should have an employee handbook
  • How to develop an effective employee handbook
  • What policies you should include in your handbook
  • What you should leave out of your handbook
  • The proper language to use to keep you out of trouble
  • Best practices for communicating and distributing your handbook
  • How to communicate your policies
  • When and how to revise policies

The presentation slides will be posted on the UBA website the day before the webinar.
