It is important for all businesses to review what they have in their employee handbook. If you do not have one, it is imperative that you create one immediately. Employees have rights under certain laws. You could have misinformation that would not hold up in court or land you in a lawsuit. This is not our specialty, but we work with a consulting firm and an attorney that understands this very important area. If you have not addressed them in your handbook we will be glad to put you in touch with one of our resource partners.
In the meantime here are some areas that you should review.
Maternity leave
Free speech rights (NLRB)
Social media
Cell phone use
Off-duty conduct
Paid leave policy
Overtime
FMLA leave and those who are not eligible
Maternity leave
Firearm policy
Whistleblowers
E-cigarettes, tobacco, and marijuana use
Be sure to keep you HIPAA policies and procedures up to date as well!
