Workplace Policy Handbook & Forms for 2022
Clear, written employee policies are the foundation for workplace legal compliance and productivity. Prolonged pandemic conditions and California’s earned reputation as a litigation hotbed underscore the importance of sound, across-the-boards written rules and protocols.
Updated for 2022, our model forms include:
- Workforce COVID protocols;
- Vaccination promotion, requirements and procedures;
- Paid sick leave benefits under federal and California directives;
- Employment application and accompanying job description template(including key requirements for Americans with Disabilities Act compliance and California’s constitutional privacy protections);
- Pre-employment protocols (properly positioning the process to meet changing legal requirements);
- Employment agreement (including confidentiality/non-disclosure of company trade secrets);
- Alternative dispute resolution agreement (also properly setting terms to match changing standards for private mediation and arbitration in lieu of court action);
- Meal and rest period acknowledgments (confirming employer provision of required breaks); and
- Termination policy, checklist and standard release (to be applied as appropriate for full transition and greater protection against later, preventable suits).
Our comprehensive model employee handbook, 2022 edition, includes (but is not limited to):
- Conditions of company employment, including mutual “at will” termination rights;
- Discrimination and harassment, prevention and handling (including new standards stemming from government response to COVID-19 conditions);
- Employee compensation;
- Employee benefits;
- Employee job performance;
- Limits of employee privacy, including valid employer access to employee-maintained databases and social media guidelines;
- Paid and unpaid leaves;
- Workplace health and safety;
- Job-related injury or illness, including prevention plan priorities; and
- Drug and alcohol policy, including testing and violations procedures and standards.
