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 that will cover the rights and responsibilities of all their employees. Just about any attorney will tell you how important an employee handbook for California is to your company; even the smallest business should protect itself with an 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 tremendous financial burden on you the employer. The average dollar amount being awarded to employees against employers is now in the $125,000-$200,000 range with some being considerably higher.

One Solution.

- Providing An Employee Handbook -

Although it cannot provide for every situation that might arise, by providing a California employee handbook for your employees, you can reduce your liability against lawsuits and at the same time provide valuable information to them.

Having this 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 or employer.

An 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 always decreased.

Changes are easy to make. Update your handbook as your company's policies change with most any computer that can read RTF or Microsoft Word documents.

Our Employee Handbooks vs. the Competition

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

  • Some companies require you to copy and paste state specific information into their handbooks without telling you where the information came from.

  • 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 these choices compare with having a licensed, practicing attorney, experienced in employment law, draft and edit an employee handbook specifically for California.

    Furthermore, you will receive free updates in January 2009 and 2010 about any changes that have taken place with California employment law concerning our employee handbook.

Our employee handbooks and contracts are updated every year by a licensed California attorney who is experienced in employment law and who customizes them specifically for California. Furthermore, we sell our employee handbooks and contracts to other law firms in California so our products face further legal scrutiny.

Clear and concise, our attorney drafted employee handbooks are general enough to fit the majority of California businesses. Changes are easy to make. You can easily update your handbook as your company and its policies change with almost any word processor that can read RTF or Microsoft Word documents.

To make your job easier, our employee handbook has provisions and policies for both salaried and hourly California employees. If needed, you may also use the handbook for just hourly or just salaried employees. 

Employee handbooks are available in both English and Spanish
