Learn what your policy should say. * Benefits and FMLA policies should be updated to reflect the new rights of same-sex married couples. * The latest DOL rules on nursing mothers require changes to your leave and break rules. * Your leave policies need to be updated to include time off for employees with military relatives … and to prohibit moonlighting while on FMLA leave. * Your ADA reasonable accommodations policy needs to include the EEOC's changing view on accommodating pregnant employees. * Why your handbook shouldn't require automatic discharge after employees use all available leave. Your employee handbook can be an invaluable organizational tool … or an employment lawsuit waiting to happen.

  • Your social media policy is probably out of date. You need a new policy on smart devices and a new no-camera rule that won't interfere with worker rights.
  • A few wrong policy words may be illegally restricting employee discussions on pay and benefits.
  • Learn how to use the new NLRB "balancing test" to justify your handbook rules as lawful, particularly rules that are designed to promote civility in the workplace.
