What's the secret to dodging those tricky HR lawsuits? A critical tool that we like to call handbooks. But we're not talking about just any handbooks – we're talking about fully customized, 100% local, state, and federally compliant handbooks that are always up-to-date (and it's all done for you).
One of the most essential elements to incorporate in your practice is the employee handbook. Many practice owners don't realize its importance until they need it.
An employee handbook is the foundation of everything your business stands for. It outlines the rules and regulations, workplace policies, and federal and state labor laws. The handbook also highlights essential features such as pregnancy accommodations, anti-discrimination/harassment policies, and protected sick leave.
Every business is unique. Your practice's culture, operations, core values, and employee benefits may differ from others. That's why you need a customized handbook that effectively relays not only legal obligations but also your unique practices and policies. With a customized handbook, you create a transparent work environment contributing to increased staff productivity, loyalty, and overall positive work culture.
Handbooks created from a template often lack the necessary depth and breadth to accommodate all the intricacies of your specific practice. This deficiency can lead to potential pitfalls such as regulatory compliance issues, miscommunication with employees, and potential lawsuits. A standardized template is a cookie-cutter approach, lacking the adaptability required to address your unique needs.
The cost for developing an employee handbook can range significantly, from $500 up to $10,000 or more, depending on its complexity and the need for legal review. With our free Federal Employee Handbook Generator, you can eliminate these costs while still receiving a high-quality, fully compliant handbook for your practice.
While a detailed and comprehensive handbook is an excellent start, maintaining compliance requires ongoing effort and monitoring. It's not just a set-and-forget mechanism. That's where our HR for Health software comes in. In addition to helping you generate a robust handbook, our software assists with regular updates to ensure you remain compliant with ever-changing labor and employment laws. With HR for Health, you can focus more on your patients and less on HR concerns.
