How to use it
Your first 15 minutes
Step 1 is the Field Guide, file 6. Work down from there, and by step 5 you keep it current.
Read the Field Guide first. It covers what a handbook needs, at-will, equal opportunity, pay and hours, leave, the conduct rules that touch labor law, and how to keep it current.
Open the Handbook Template and make it yours. Fill in the shaded fields, keep, customize, or remove each policy, match your state, and rebrand the footer before you hand it out.
Track your work in the Workbook. Run the Coverage Check for your headcount, mark each policy on the Policy Adoption Tracker, and keep Definitions handy.
Distribute it and collect acknowledgment. Give the handbook to every employee, have each one sign the acknowledgment, and record them on the Acknowledgment Log. Keep the signed copies on file.
Keep it current. Review it once a year, and whenever a law, your headcount, or your practice changes, and keep your required workplace postings up to date alongside it.

Can I use the files in my business?

Leave and Accommodation Kit
Handle a leave request or an accommodation the way a careful, defensible process should run, from the first conversation to a documented decision. No improvising the parts that carry legal weight. A guided system.
