Employee Handbooks
Does your organization have an employee handbook? Is your handbook up to date? UEA can help you revise your current employee handbook or create a new handbook.
Our staff will help you make sure your organization’s employee handbook contains the most up-to-date policies reflecting recent changes in workplace laws.
UEA offers members three options for updating an employee handbook, depending on individual needs and the condition of the current handbook:
- Handbook Tune-up – Includes a basic review by UEA staff. Missing policies will be identified and samples provided along with general recommendations. UEA staff will not rewrite any policies or revise the design/layout of the handbook. This option is provided at no additional cost to our members. This option is recommended for members that are satisfied with their current handbook but need to bring it up-to-date (e.g., due to recent legislative changes).
- Handbook Repair – Includes a more detailed review by UEA staff. Missing policies will be identified and samples provided. Revisions will be recommended, new language proposed/provided, and design/layout changes made if needed. This level of review/revision will be charged at an hourly rate or at an agreed-upon price depending on the complexity and length of handbook. This option is recommended for organizations that already have a handbook but the content/layout of the handbook is outdated or in need of significant revision.
- New Handbook Kit – Includes a sample handbook template and CD with essential and recommended policies and language. The kit also includes 5-7 hours of staff time to customize the handbook. The cost is $850 for UEA members. Additional staff time will be charged at an hourly rate. This option is recommended for an organization with no handbook or one that is significantly outdated.
Legal review of a handbook by UEA attorneys can be added to any of these options.
Some of these services may be offered through UEA Inc., a subsidiary.
