Overview:

By the time you hire your first employee, you really need a handbook. Handbooks cover the basic policies–dress codes, vacation policies, et cetera–and set the standard for how the company runs. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is paying close attention, especially when it comes to union organizing. The Stericycle decision will affect you, even if you don’t think unions would ever come near your business.
 

Additionally, new laws such as the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act (PWFA) and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections (PUMP) Act have changed how we approach maternity leaves and nursing mothers. 
 

What about social media? And AI with things such as ChatGPT and Bard? Your handbook needs a good update and this will give you basic guidelines for getting your handbook up to date.

 

Why you should attend

Every company needs a handbook and every company needs to be up to date. Before you pay an attorney to rewrite your handbook, you need to figure out what you need and get things into place. Then have your attorney give it a review to ensure compliance in all laws. This webinar will help you save time and money by getting the basics in place.
