Employee Manual Review
Our team of HR professionals treats the employee handbook as a living document. Because of this, updates can be made and reviewed throughout the year, as needed, to account for policy shifts and legislative developments affecting the workplace. Our ever-evolving regulations and requirements make it exceedingly challenging to draft and update employee handbooks. It's near impossible for company executives and directors to keep up with the constant changes. This is one of the main reasons you should get in touch with us so we can ensure your employee manual is consistently reviewed, updated, and accredited.
Why You Need Employee Manual Reviews
Our thorough legal evaluation of your employee manual can verify whether or not your policies on things like overtime pay and workplace safety & health are in line with current legislation. Our experts can help you determine whether there are any other areas of focus that are relevant to your industry. As an added precaution, you can avoid unintentionally saddling your staff with new contractual commitments or raising the stakes in any potential legal disputes. Anti-discrimination rules, remuneration, benefits, and termination policies and procedures are only a few of the many topics that we address in your comprehensive employee manual. To ensure that your employee manual is up-to-date and comprehensive, it is a good idea to consult with us before you begin drafting it. Our certified employee manual handbook review audits should be essential to incorporate into your routine at the beginning of each year.
Employee Handbook Review Priorities
While employee handbooks may cover mundane topics like how to handle inclement weather or the office thermostat settings, their primary function is to provide employees with direction on more substantial matters. Anything you or your employees post online will remain there indefinitely. Reasonable social media policies of your company and how to handle company-related interactions are vital in our employee handbook review. Topics such as discussing working conditions, remuneration, and other employees via social media, may be seen as unacceptable by your company. We review your company's parental leave policies and consult on the differences between men and women employees. While sexual harassment rules have been gaining attention for some time now, recent events have brought them into sharper focus. We recommend clear and comprehensive outlining while paying special attention to the sections on sexual harassment and how to report it.
