Product Description
Provide your employees with a handbook that spells out your company's benefits, policies and procedures with this practical legal guide.
Every company, no matter how big or small, needs to provide workers with an employee handbook. Create Your Own Employee Handbook gives you all the information and policies managers, HR professionals and business owners need to create their own reader-friendly guide, no matter what state you live in. Each chapter covers a different topic, including:
at-will employment
hiring
pay and payroll
workdays and hours
performance evaluations
benefits
discrimination and harassment
complaints and investigations
leave
health and safety
substance abuse
privacy in the workplace
discipline
You'll get the lowdown on the legal and practical considerations that apply to each topic in your state, plus sample policies that you can use as-is, or tailor to meet your needs. The CD-ROM lets you cut-and-paste the language you need to complete your own handbook instantly.
The 4th edition is completely updated to include the latest developments in federal and state law, and covers emerging workplace issues such as lactation breaks, instant messaging, and new regulations for dealing with victims of domestic violence. (20080202)

 This Guide Has it All September 18, 2006

This is a complete kit for making your company's own employee handbook. There is legal information, state specific information, resources to follow for your specific needs, and then, the best part of all, there is CD that comes with this that has everything you need already typed for you. All you have to do is insert the CD and save the files, which are in MS Word, and voila - you have it. The only thing you have to do is decide which policies you want for your company, fill in a few blanks, change the TOC and you are ready to print it out! A very practical and easy way to create your own employee handbook! I was quite impressed.

I am very pleased with this book. I was placed in charge of writing an employee handbook for a small office and this book (and accompanying CD-ROM) made my job very easy. The CD-ROM allows you to easily cut and paste most of the general verbage of the handbook - and customize to your needs. It is also very helpful in educating on laws. I highly recommend this for anyone taking on the task of creating an employee handbook.

When my boss asked me to write an employee handbook I freaked. I had no idea where to start. This book gave me everything I needed to get what my boss wanted. Everyone was happy. This is the book you need.
Great Reference for an HR Pro January 24, 2010

This book works well for creating or reviewing an entire handbook or individual policies. The format and organization make it easy to find what you need. I found the references to state specific requirements and resources particularly helpful.
