Handbooks and Policies
We can assist you in drafting employee handbooks and manuals, and in designing policies and procedures governing such areas as drug testing, background checks, pre-employment testing, harassment, and protection of trade secrets. Whether you need your handbook refreshed to capture the latest legal developments, or whether you need a new handbook built from scratch, we can offer you personalized service designed to meet your specific needs and individually tailored for your business. Our handbooks and policies can be crafted to comply with all of the laws impacting your multistate operation or your single business location.
Training
We also assist in the training of your managers and supervisors, ensuring they understand the importance of your policies and procedures. We offer training sessions that are engaging, lively, and focused on practical skills. We also offer training sessions for your entire workforce, focusing on general compliance with your rules.
Advice and Audits
When you need day-to-day advice on hiring, discipline, termination, responding to harassment and discrimination complaints, employee compensation and benefits issues, or compliance with any other law that affects your workplace, you can be assured that we will be responsive, efficient, and practical. We can also conduct compliance audits to review all aspects of your workplace law compliance, identifying problem areas before they blossom into legal challenges and offering practical solutions.
