LITTLER EMPLOYER RESOURCES
EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK RESOURCES
These annually updated documents provide you with the tools you need to create compliant and fully customizable handbooks. It consists of four types of documents:
- A National Template
- State Supplements
- Policy Checklists
- State Guides
The National Template includes a number of traditional policies (e.g., EEO, Harassment, FMLA, Meal Breaks, Standards of Conduct), along with optional sample policies you can customize and provide to employees if they are relevant for your workforce and operations (e.g., Workplace Bullying, Holidays, Personal Appearance and Grooming).
There is a State Supplement to that National Template for every state and the District of Columbia. In the State Supplements you will find policies that carefully track state and locality-specific distinctions from those general, national policies. In the state materials, you will find addenda that identify the protected categories under state EEO laws, state-specific meal break, predictive scheduling, lactation accommodation and leaves of absence policies. We also provide policies tracking sick leave, lactation accommodation and predictive scheduling requirements for major municipalities, which are localities with 100,000 or more residents.
The State Supplement policies are drafted to comprehensively track statutory requirements, while also identifying places for customization. Throughout the templates, you will see comments intended for the policy drafter. These comments may explain why specific language appears, signal updates made within the last year or provide context or background information to help you customize the policy.
The application also provides Policy Checklists and substantive guidance for each state. At the beginning of each Policy Checklist, there is a description of its contents. These additional materials can be used as references as you are compiling a new set of policies, or reviewing existing policies
The Littler State Guides are current, comprehensive summaries of the labor and employment law in each state and the District of Columbia. Each guide takes you through the life cycle of employment - from pre-hire to termination - summarizing the federal, state and, in many cases, local law on a number of different subjects.
