Model Employee Handbook

Every practice needs to have an employee handbook which sets out the office's policies and procedures. The handbook addresses holidays, benefits, pay schedule, overtime policies, ethics, harassment policy, discipline, and a host of other aspects of employment necessary to have a well-run office. Moreover, having these policies written and provided to every employee as part of the hiring process becomes essential when it comes time to defend yourself because a disgruntled employee is suing you. You can direct the Court to the handbook where it says things like progressive discipline is not required, or taking breaks and lunch are mandatory. 

Many offices have no handbook simply because it is time-consuming and burdensome to create one. The Model Employee Handbook makes implementing a thorough handbook a breeze by doing all the hard work for you. All you need to do is go through it and customize it for your office. Here is an example, part of one of the sections in the Handbook taken from the Business Ethics chapter discussing Conflicts of Interest:

As example of the section on Company Benefits can be viewed by clicking HERE. This is an example of a section you may want to modify to suit your office, but the Handbook provides you a thorough framework so you don't have to "reinvent the wheel," you only need to modify it slightly!
