How often should I update my Employee Handbook to be compliant with legal changes such as USERRA, salary deductions statements, and more?
A. With all the federal and state legal compliance changes over the past 1-5 years, companies need to ensure that they do not find themselves legally exposed to fines and penalties for non-compliance in notifying employees of their rights. You should have your Employee Handbook reviewed at least every two years to ensure that it contains all required legally-mandated information. In addition, every few years a Human Resource Audit should be conducted to ensure your organization’s legal compliance in Recruitment, Benefits, Compensation, Training, Employee Relations, Safety, etc.
