Breakfast Briefing: Minimizing Liability with Employee Handbooks

Employment litigation can be very distracting and expensive - both in terms of the legal fees and the disruption caused to an employer's day-to-day business operations.  It is crucial for employers to establish effective human resources management strategies in order to avoid costly litigation, lengthy government investigations and other outside party intervention with their business operations.

Your company's employee handbook is a vitally important tool that can either support your efforts, or undermine them if it's not done right. Please join us for a discussion of best practices in creating and updating employee handbooks.  

Topics will include:

• The importance of having written policies
• Handbook drafting pitfalls and concerns
• Hot button issues like the NLRA and its implications for non-union employers
