IT’S APRIL — HAVE YOU UPDATED YOUR POSTERS AND EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK?

At the beginning of the year, we recommended that you get your new all-in-one posters from the Compliance Store for only $19.95 (under Links in HR That Works), as well as updating your employee handbook – especially EEO, ADA, and FMLA provisions. While we’re on the subject of employee handbooks, look at the handbook we did for the San Gabriel YMCA. We ran a contest through eLance challenging top graphics people to bring the handbook to life. Summer Bonne of Washington State won the contest. To see the first 20 pages of the handbook, click here. If you’re an HR That Works member, go to the Employee Handbook page, where you can find out how much Summer will charge for bringing your handbook to life.
