Custom Employee Handbooks

An up-to-date Employee Handbook is an organization’s backbone for effective employee relations and sound legal compliance.  One size does not fit all.  We provide customized Employee Handbooks that blend your unique preferences with best practices and legal requirements.

A solid Employee Handbook is the single most important source for vital day-to-day information needed by employees at all levels, and it is the primary way to assert and protect an employer’s prerogatives.  We have been collaborating with employers and their legal counsel for over 25 years to create custom Employee Handbooks.

There are many ways in which smaller employers do not have access to the more sophisticated resources of larger companies, but Employee Handbooks is not one of them.  Our firm was founded on the premise that smaller employers need just as much Human Resources sophistication as larger employers, but in an “on-demand” form and scaled to a smaller budget.  The cornerstone for making “on-demand” HR work is having a good Employee Handbook.

Our Employee Handbooks cover legally-required and recommended topics as well as topics that are unique to your organization.  We analyze your discretionary benefits to show how they integrate with (or overlap) other insured benefits and practices.  Every finished Employee Handbook is reviewed by legal counsel and is unique to the employer it represents.

Our Handbook clients will tell you that the Employee Handbook is their single most important management document.  Think of an Employee Handbook as lane striping on a busy road.  Lanes keep traffic moving in the right directions and creates orderly entrances, merges and exits.  While lanes don’t eliminate crashes, they certainly minimize both their number and severity.  Our clients are startled to realize that the Employee Handbook allows them to focus less on employee issues and more on running and growing the business.

Our typical Handbook topics can be found in our Handbooks section.

In addition, a Handbook project often includes one or more of the following:

  • Required Workplace Pamphlets
  • Confidentiality Agreement
  • Arbitration Agreement
  • Workplace Operating Standards
  • Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (Safety Plan)
  • (Other Employer-specific Topics)
