Employee Handbook 2007

Make your employee handbook today with our professional, attorney-drafted, employee handbook for both hourly & salaried employees.

Improve your company image, help your employees, and limit potential lawsuits.

Why Having An Employee Handbook Is Important

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that businesses can protect themselves against damages and liability against employee lawsuits by providing clear, written policies covering the rights and responsibilities of their employees. Just about any attorney will tell you how important an employee handbook is to your company; even the smallest business should protect itself with an attorney-drafted employee handbook.

The Problem

Lawsuits are now a major concern with most employers. The past decade has seen a large increase in the amount of lawsuits based on sexual harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination. These lawsuits can put a tremendous financial burden on you the employer. The average dollar amount being awarded to employees against employers is now in the $125,000-$200,000 range with some being considerably higher.

One Solution - Providing An Employee Handbook

Although it cannot provide for every situation that might arise, providing an employee handbook can reduce your liability against lawsuits and at the same time provide valuable information to your employees. Having this information in a clear printed format for your employees gives them in writing the company policies, requirements, and what is expected of them. This can prevent possible future problems and misunderstandings an employee may have about their job or employer.

An employee handbook also increases the efficiency and shortens the training period that most new employees go through. Studies show that when employees have clear guidelines and policies to follow, the chances of staying with their employer increases substantially and the chances of the employer being sued are reduced.

You can easily create your own business employee handbook with our professional, attorney-drafted handbook. Edit any information that does or does not apply to your company. Changes are easy to make. You can quickly update your handbook as your company and its policies change with most any word processor that can read RTF or Microsoft Word® documents.

Your objective should be to help and assist your employees with training, instruction, and policies. Easy to understand and legally compliant should be your goal when creating your company handbook. All our employee handbooks have been reviewed and updated by a licensed attorney for the current year and will fit the majority of today's businesses.

Although are employee handbooks are updated regularly by a licensed attorney to be Federally compliant, we strongly suggest you have an attorney in your own state make final adjustments and possible suggestions for your specific business and jurisdiction before you distribute it to your employees.

Copying and pasting certain state information into employee handbooks like some companies offer is not only an inaccurate way to complete your handbook, but it could possibly put you at further risk as an employer. Copying and pasting is a poor substitute for having an attorney in your own state provide a final review of your handbook.

To make your job easier, we now offer one employee handbook that has provisions and policies for both salaried and hourly employees. You may also use this handbook for just hourly or just salaried employees. This flexible employee handbook will save you a great deal of time when editing.

Employee handbooks in both English and Spanish are ready for immediate download or you can have them mailed on a CD.

We are the only company to offer these attorney drafted employee handbooks. Should you have any further questions you may call us at: 1-800-524-7116 during our regular business hours between 9:00am - 5:00pm CST (Mon-Fri).
