Crafting of Leave and Other Personnel Policies and Handbooks

The attorneys in our employment law practice group also have experience helping businesses develop, update, and implement company personnel policies and employee handbooks, They are an important component in letting employees know what is expected of them on the job, in preventing personnel problems before they arise, and can help protect a business against claims of unfair treatment by employees and customers alike.  Proper care and attention is needed when crafting such policies, as policies drafted without proper safeguards have been construed to provide additional rights and benefits not intended by the company.  Careful drafting is also needed to ensure that well-meaning policies do not accidentally violate state or federal regulations. At Gislason & Hunter, LLP, we have helped numerous businesses develop policies and handbooks specific to the needs of those employers, giving them a valuable tool for successfully managing their employee relations.
