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 business; even the smallest company 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 number of lawsuits based on sexual harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination. These lawsuits can put a substantial financial burden on you the employer. The average dollar amount being awarded to employees against employers is now in the $125,000-$300,000 range with some over a million dollars.
The Right Solution.
- Providing an Attorney-Drafted 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.

A Long Employee Handbook is a Recipe for Disaster
Many companies boast about their long detailed employee handbook
and the many policies it contains. On the surface that may sound
great, however, the reality is a long employee handbook (anything over
40-45 pages) is probably filled with implied contracts between
employer and employee.
These unintentional implied contracts create a
contracted relationship that may change an employee’s employment
status from being “at-will” to something legally binding or worse.
Oddly enough, the employee handbook was designed to avoid just these
types of legal problems.
There are endless court decisions where people have sued their current and former employer for breach of contract based on actions by the employer that did not comply with poorly written policies contained in their employee handbook. Only an attorney experienced in employment law is qualified to draft and review an employee handbook.
Our Employee Handbook vs. the Competition
- Some companies offer handbooks generated by software without
telling
you how and when they are updated, and by whom. - Some companies require you to copy and paste information into your employee handbook. (Attorneys think this is very risky)
- Other companies use terms like legal experts, employment experts and HR experts without ever giving you specifics on what
type of credentials those experts actually have.
None of the above choices compare with having a licensed, practicing attorney, experienced in employment law, draft and edit your employee handbook.
Our employee handbook has been updated for the current year by a licensed attorney to be federally compliant. Furthermore, we sell our employee handbook and contracts to other law firms so they face further legal scrutiny. And our handbooks are used by a multi-billion company with over 10,000 franchised outlets across the U.S.
Although not required, we strongly encourage you to have an
attorney in your state review your employee handbook before
distributing to your employees to further protect your business.
Clear and concise, our attorney drafted employee handbook is designed
to fit most businesses. Changes are easy to make.
You can easily update your handbook as your company and its policies
change with any computer.
To make your job easier, we offer one employee handbook that has provisions and policies for both salaried and hourly employees. You may also use our handbook for just hourly or just salaried employees.
(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 business hours between 9:00am-9:00pm CST (Mon-Fri).
