Overview

In this webinar, we will explore perks and pitfalls of the employee handbook, including policies that should and shouldn’t be included, risks of including policies that could impact an employers legal position in matters like claims for harassment, discrimination and termination and the common perks and pitfalls in most employee handbooks. 

Why you should Attend

Organizing your workplace policies and providing them to your employees in one convenient location-your employee handbook-may seem like a great idea and an obvious step in setting up and maintaining a healthy workplace. While employee handbooks can be a great tool to help organize the do’s and don’ts of the workplace along with important (and sometimes legally required) employer policies, you may not be aware of some of the potential problems lurking in your handbook. In this webinar, we explore some important potential perks and pitfalls of employee handbooks. 

Areas Covered in the Session

• Perks: setting employee expectations and responsibilities, providing information that employees are legally required to know, potentially strengthening your legal position during negotiations with legal counsel
• Pitfalls: outdated and legally non-compliant information, not rolling out the handbook at the right time, weakening your position in legal negotiations
