Bullet-Proof Your Employee Handbook
Book Details
Description
Page by page, you'll turn your old handbook's vulnerabilities into legal strengths. Soon you will:
* Let employees know about company benefits - without inviting "breach of promise" lawsuits.
* Guide managers on how to apply policies without painting the organization into a corner.
* Protect against today's newest trends in litigation by having policies on dishonesty, dating and one other key area.
* Eliminate actions that can turn even the most carefully written disclaimers into snap-shut legal traps.
* Get rid of language about everything from arbitration to leave policies that can put you at risk.
You can also strip out these common mistakes:
#1 The "cookie-cutter" trap. These clauses have nothing to do with your business and everything to do with lawsuits.
#2 The policy-procedure blur. Lets employees interpret "guidelines" as procedures - and hold you legally accountable.
#3 Lack of "wiggle room." Because nailing certain things down in a handbook could pin you down in court.
#4 Rigid discipline. Another case where being too specific can create legal disasters, but look out if you're too vague!
#5 The probation problem. Unless you use the right words, you're stuck with employees - no matter what.
...plus, 7 even higher-liability mistakes regarding disclaimers, state laws, and terminations!
