It is always a good idea to have written employment policies contained in an employee handbook. This helps create expectations for your employees and can protect you in the event of a lawsuit.
An employment lawyer can help you craft your policies and create a handbook that complies with all federal and state laws. This may also include policies that define your obligations to your employees and limit your liability. Even if you decide to draft your own handbook, it is a good idea to have an employer attorney look it over for any legal issues.
