Employment Lawsuits

Lawsuits are a major concern with most California 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 tremendous financial burden on you the employer. The average dollar amount being awarded to employees against employers is now in the $150,000-$250,000 range with some being considerably higher.

Why an Attorney-Drafted Employee Handbook is Important

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that California businesses can protect themselves against damages and liability against employee lawsuits by providing clear, written policies that cover the rights and responsibilities of all their employees. Every attorney will tell you how important a California employee handbook is to your company; even the smallest business should have one.

One Solution

- Providing An Employee Handbook -

By providing a California employee handbook drafted by a California attorney, you can reduce your liability against lawsuits and protect your business.

Having information in a clear printed format for your employees gives them in writing, the company policies, requirements, and that which is expected of them. This information can prevent possible future misunderstandings an employee may have about their job and you their employer.

A California employee handbook also increases the efficiency and shortens the training period that most new employees go through. Studies show when employees have clear guidelines and written policies to follow, the chances of them staying with their employer increases substantially, and the chances of their employer being sued are decreased.

A Long Employee Handbook is a Recipe for Disaster

Many companies pride themselves on having a long in depth California employee handbook. 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.

There are many California court decisions where employees have sued their current or former employer for breach of contract based on actions by the employer that did not comply with their poorly written employee handbook.

Only a California attorney experienced in employment law is qualified to draft and review an employee handbook.

Our California Employee Handbook vs. the Competition

  1. Some companies offer handbooks generated by software without telling you how and when they are updated, and by whom.

  2. Other companies require you to copy and paste state specific information into their handbooks without telling you where the information came from and how current it is. The attorneys we work with think this is a poor and risky method of making your employee handbook compliant for California.

  3. Many companies use terms like legal experts, employment experts and HR experts without ever giving you specifics on what type of credentials those experts have.

  4. Even if a company uses an attorney from another state it seems unlikely that an attorney in state like Florida will do the same quality work as a practicing attorney in California.

    California has the most complex employment laws in the nation. Using anyone else other than an attorney who practices law in California does not make any sense and could be risky.

    None of the these options compare with having a licensed California attorney, experienced in employment law, draft and update an employee handbook specifically for California.
