Details: With increasing scrutiny of employer practices and procedures by governmental regulatory agencies, labor unions and plaintiffs’ lawyers, it is critical for employers to create effective and legally compliant handbooks. While handbook policies can positively define your working culture, they also can be the basis for breach of contract claims. In this presentation, Mr. Schachter will identify best practices to create and evaluate your handbooks, and how to minimize your legal exposure. Emphasis will be placed on practical techniques, with sample policies, in critical employment areas to assure legal compliance, improve employee moral and make a positive statement about your workplace.
