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 template.

Employment Lawsuits

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 -

Providing an employee handbook can reduce your chances and 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. Our attorneys use specific language to help you avoid workplace disputes and lawsuits.

Handbooks also increase 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 handbooks (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 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 an employee handbook template for employers to use.


Our 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. Some companies require you to copy and paste information into your employee handbook. (Attorneys we work with think this is very risky).
  3. 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 options compare with having a licensed attorney, experienced in employment law, draft an employee handbook.
  • Our employee handbook is updated by licensed practicing attorneys.
  • You can edit all sections of the handbook to customize for you company
  • We sell our employee handbook template to other law firms so it faces further legal scrutiny.
