o devastating lawsuits. Plus\, with the continuing expansion of employee-f

\n\nThe Employee Handbook: An Essential
Tool in Defending Your Company Against Costly Lawsuits
\n10:00 a.m.
&ndash\; 10:30 a.m.
\nThe employee handbook is a living document that
can be a very useful tool for helping to insulate your organization from
legal liability. If an employee&rsquo\;s conduct or behavior runs afoul to
permissible conduct as outlined in the handbook\, you&rsquo\;ll have a fa
r easier time defending any adverse employment actions\, such as a demotio
n\, suspension\, or firing\, for policy infractions if those policies have
been effectively outlined and communicated to the workforce. The \;Employee Handbook Design + Build Workshop: \;California&nb
sp\;kicks off with a look at some of the essential language every employee
handbook should include&mdash\;and why. You&rsquo\;ll learn:
\nImportant Wording to Include and What to
Steer Clear of&mdash\; New Federal and State Court\, Legislative and Regul
atory Developments and National Employment Trends Impacting Today&rsquo\;s
Employee Handbook \;
\n10:30 a.m. &ndash\; 12:00 p.m.
\nWha
t are the essential employment policies and procedures that should be incl
uded in your employee handbook for the coming year? And\, how should the w
ording be constructed? Often times\, overly broad employment policy langua
ge can spark costly legal liability under the National Labor Relations Act
(NLRA)\, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Employmen
t and Housing Act (FEHA)\, and other federal and state laws. A California-
based Jackson Lewis attorney will provide the latest updates on legal\, re
gulatory\, and legislative action that impact what you say&mdash\;and how
you say it&mdash\;in your employee handbook. You&rsquo\;ll learn how to dr
aft policies and procedures concerning leave administration\, ADA/FEHA acc
ommodations\, hiring and pre-employment screening practices\, and much mor
e. We&rsquo\;ll cover vital policies to always include\, ones to consider
including\, and how to draft employee handbook policy language that doesn&
rsquo\;t leave your company vulnerable to legal liability. We&rsquo\;ll co
ver:
\nLunch
\n12:00 p.m. &ndash\; 1:00 p.m.
Distribution\, Storage &\; Disposal of the Employee Handbook \;
\n1:00 p.m. &ndash\; 1:30 p.m.
\nYour obligations concerning the e
mployee handbook don&rsquo\;t end once you&rsquo\;ve drafted your policies
and procedures. You must ensure that employees have received a copy of th
e handbook&mdash\;and any updates you make along the way. In today&rsquo\;
s digital age\, what&rsquo\;s the best way to get the handbook to your wor
kforce? What types of version control protocols should you have in place w
hen updating the handbook&rsquo\;s contents? And\, how long should you kee
p previous versions of the employee handbook on file&mdash\;and when is it
safe to destroy those? This session will provide practical insights into
how to manage the practical use of your handbook in every day work life. Y
