What unique policies do I need to consider for my company handbook?

Each state has its own set of rules, and so do many localities. We can cover the basics and make some suggestions, but we need to know how a few things work at your company (or at least how you'd like them to).

  • Where should employees store their belongings while they are at work?
  • How can they secure them?

  • Life insurance
  • Workers Comp (required in many states)

Vacation/Sick Leave/PTO

Bulletin boards

  • Where will employee communications be posted (i.e. schedule, announcements)?

  • Employee referrals
  • Performance bonuses

Fraternization

  • How restrictive do you want to be?
