Labor & Employment Law Briefing: Employee Handbooks

Employee Handbooks have been both a blessing and a curse for employers. The use of “Supervisor Policy” manuals has only increased confusion as to discipline and direction in the workplace. The need for clarity on workplace expectations and policy enforcement is central to running – and protecting – an effective workplace. von Briesen Labor & Employer Attorneys Geoff Trotier and Audrey Merkel will discuss the key considerations in developing and communicating Employee Handbook provisions for employees as well as supervisory “musts” in policy enforcement. Specific topics will include: • The key provisions to include in the Handbook – a checklist for compliance. • Terms that should not be included in an Employee Handbook. • Using the Employee Handbook as a defense to employment claims.
