Employee Handbooks

JER HR Group helps you create an Employee Handbook that is integral to your employee relations philosophy, essential to your employee communications, and crucial to your development of an effective, safe, and legal work environment.

An Employee Handbook of policies, procedures and benefits exists to ensure compliance with your organization's legal requirements and to create a transparent, fair workplace. If you don't have one, you need one. And once you have one, it needs to be reviewed and updated once per year.

Employee Handbook Guide
What It Should Do

What should your Employee Handbook do?

  • Acquaint all employees with the company's culture, mission, and values.
  • Share with employees what is expected of them.
  • Let employees know what they can expect from management and leadership.
  • Showcase the benefits that your organization provides.
  • Communicate key company policies clearly and consistently.
  • Maintain compliance with current federal and state laws.
  • Help protect the company against employee claims.
  • Inform employees as to where they can go for help.
More Than a Document

It's more than the basic employment information.

When done right, the Employee Handbook is part of your brand story, and the power it contains is immense. A well-executed handbook instills in employees a regularly used employee relations philosophy essential to your employee communications, and crucial to your development of an effective, safe and legal work environment.

An Employee Handbook can be an effective tool for communicating with new hires at the very foundation of their career. The handbook is the first opportunity to provide written clarity and an understanding of the culture that will develop their future. Effective daily communication tools and quality of life resources are equally important ways for employers or advisors to deliver crucial information.

The handbook will be the resource on an employee's life that reveals and establishes the quality of life experienced by employees at your unique organization. Every employee on every team on every basis is approached from an objective, manager, or human resources department perspective.
A strong Employee Handbook gives the Employee Handbook to one's business a good foundation, demonstrates the requisite seriousness that is conducive to an effective performance with the employee. It encourages employees, exemplifies, and explicitly states the company's expectations to ensure a high-performing culture and our highest Employee Handbook can do just that.

What JER HR Builds Into Every Handbook

A handbook built for your organization. Not a template with your logo on it.

Every handbook we produce is written for your specific workplace - your culture, your policies, your legal environment, and your employees. We cover every section that matters, ensure federal and state compliance, and deliver a document that is actually readable.

01

Knowledge Center

2,000+ HR forms covering the full employee lifecycle. Authorization forms, policies, regulatory guidelines, safety protocols, and best practice guides.

02

Code of Conduct and Workplace Behavior

Anti-harassment, anti-discrimination, conflict of interest, social media, and workplace conduct policies written for your culture and compliant with current law.

03

Compensation and Benefits Overview

Pay policies, overtime, expense reimbursement, and a clear description of the benefits your organization provides -- written to inform, not confuse.

04

Leave and Time-Off Policies

PTO, vacation, sick leave, FMLA, parental leave, bereavement, jury duty, and military leave policies - compliant with federal and state requirements in your jurisdiction.

05

Safety and Workplace Environment

OSHA compliance, workplace safety procedures, drug and alcohol policy, and remote or hybrid work guidelines specific to your work environment.

06

Acknowledgment and Annual Review

A signed employee acknowledgment form and a documented annual review process - because a handbook that is not updated is a compliance liability, not an asset.
