Report Link Updated Employee Policies for 2008.Shaw Valenza LLP - December 24, 2007 This time of year, everyone has a “to-do” list that is too long. Employers are no exception. In addition to replacing outdated workplace posters and pamphlets, implementing the new I-9 form, and ensuring employees receive notice of their right to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, employers should tune up their handbooks for the new year. Report Link Cookie-Cutter Employment Policies Don't Cut It.Vedder Price - December 20, 2007 A solid defense to a claim of sexual harassment is
evidence that the complaining employee never reported
the harassment before fi ling a charge. But what if the
company’s anti-harassment policy doesn’t explain how
employees should report such matters, or fails to identify
the person to whom complaints should be made? Report Link Do I Really Need An Employee Handbook?Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - December 06, 2007 The hospitality industry provides the first job for many workers in America. While that presents the industry with a great opportunity to identify and cultivate successful contributors in the future, it also presents a unique challenge: Because it is their first job, many hospitality workers have no real idea of what is expected of them. Report Link Provisions of an Effective Employee Handbook (Part II) (pdf).Jones Walker - November 05, 2007 The following is the second of a two-part series. Report Link Provisions of an Effective Employee Handbook (pdf).Jones Walker - October 11, 2007 There is no law that requires you to have an employee handbook.
Additionally, if you have a handbook, it does not necessarily follow that you will
be in a better position to prevent or defend a lawsuit. So why go to the trouble? Report Link Recent Cases Impact Common Workplace Policies (pdf)Nexsen Pruet - July 20, 2007 Under recent case law, policies about common workplace issues such as confidentiality, complaints, solicitation, and fraternization may violate employee rights protected by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) - regardless of whether the employees belong to a union. Report Link Employee Handbooks -- Protecting A Valuable Company Asset.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - March 05, 2007 Employee handbooks can be great tools for employers, but like mutual funds and automobiles, they need periodic checkups and maintenance. A well-written and up-to-date employee handbook can be a litigation lifesaver, but an out-of-date handbook can be your worst nightmare. Recognizing and treating employee handbooks as important HR assets will pay off in the long run by providing consistency and guidance in day-to-day operations, and legal protection in the event of a lawsuit. Report Link Employee Handbook Provisions Could Leave Employers Vulnerable to Union Attacks (pdf).Ford & Harrison LLP - August 02, 2006 There are many reasons for employers to implement and distribute well-drafted employee handbooks, including protecting
themselves (as much as possible) from liability for unlawful harassment and demonstrating compliance with the FMLA and
other employment laws. While complying with employment laws is rightfully at the forefront of employers’ concerns when
issuing handbooks, employers should be equally concerned with ensuring that their employee handbooks comply with
federal labor law. This is especially true now, because unions have increasingly attacked the legality of certain handbook
provisions of both unionized and union-free employers. Report Link Employee Handbooks That Work.Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. - January 12, 2005 Employee handbooks need a public relations makeover. The rise in breach of contract lawsuits involving employee handbooks has left many employers feeling betrayed by their handbooks and doubting whether they are worth the trouble.
