Employee handbooks are more than rulebooks—they’re essential tools for compliance, culture, and communication. In this video, we answer the top five frequently asked questions HR leaders and business owners have about handbooks.
Employee Handbook FAQs Every HR Professional Should Know
How Should I Update and Maintain My Employee Handbook?
Handbooks should evolve with your business. Annual reviews are essential, but major legal or organizational changes may require immediate updates. Establishing a structured review process ensures compliance and clarity.
How Do I Navigate Multi-State Employment Laws?
A single handbook offers simplicity, but state-specific versions may be necessary for compliance. The right approach depends on your footprint, risk, and resources.
What If Employees Refuse to Sign the Handbook?
When employees hesitate, communication is key. Clarify policies, listen to concerns, and document refusals to protect your business while building transparency.
Should Independent Contractors Receive the Handbook?
Independent contractors should not sign employee handbooks. Instead, create a contractor-specific policy document to protect both parties and maintain proper classification.
How Do Arbitration Agreements Fit In?
Arbitration agreements can streamline dispute resolution, but they must meet legal requirements and be introduced clearly during onboarding.
