Business Management Daily, a division of Capitol Information Group, Inc, January 2012
If your employee handbook hasn’t been updated in the past six months, it’s out of date. For example:
- Have you updated your social media policies in light of recent NLRB rulings on Facebook and Twitter?
- Do any policies conflict with the employee rights explained in the new NLRB labor poster?
- Have you revised your arbitration and noncompete policies to take advantage of the latest Supreme Court and appellate court decisions?
- Have you updated your health insurance policies to leave no doubt that the benefit may be changed at the company’s discretion?
Your employee handbook can be an invaluable organizational tool … or an employment lawsuit waiting to happen. And in recent years, Congress and state legislatures have been busy enacting laws that directly affect your employee handbook. If you haven’t kept up, you could find yourself in court.
