Is Your Employee Handbook Legally Up to Date? 7 Things to Check Right Now

Your employee handbook should be more than a welcome packet — it's your first line of defense in legal disputes, compliance audits, and employee relations. But many small businesses don’t realize theirs is outdated until it’s too late. Here are 7 critical areas to review in 2025.

✅ Key Sections to Audit:

1. Remote Work & Hybrid Policies

2. State-Specific Leave Laws (e.g., Paid Sick Leave, PFL)

3. Harassment & Discrimination Reporting Procedures

4. At-Will Employment Disclaimer

5. Wage & Hour Compliance

6. Social Media & Technology Usage

7. Acknowledgment Form (often missing or unsigned)

🛠 Fix It:

Review your handbook annually and have it reviewed by an HR pro familiar with multi-state compliance.
