Topic Background:

Did you know that Employee Handbooks can be a risk or a benefit for Employers? For years an Employee Handbook has been one of the first documents employment law attorneys request when they are planning to pursue workplace charges against an Employer. That being said, shouldn't you ensure that your employee handbook protects your company instead of exposing it to numerous risk? Let me help you create an employee handbook that will reduce your companies risk and help you mitigate the numerous workplace regulations that can impact your company.

Since 2015, regulatory entities have focused on violations of workplace regulations in companies. In fact, the following regulatory agencies have increased their fines and penalties to double the amount: Department of Labor (DOL), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have increased fines for violations up to $19,000 just for OSHA violations.

These increases has added to the increase of claims by employees against their Employer. In fact, some of the regulatory entities develop websites that teach employees on how to make claims against their Employer....you! Now let's remember, these regulations were created to address workplace abuse against employees. However, now more than ever, Employers have to ensure that they are compliant with all regulations and be prepared for the land mines that can come if they are audited.
