Employee Handbooks

Employee Handbooks provide a vital element of communication between you and your employees.  Not only does your handbook provide a written record of the many aspects of employer/employee responsibilities and interactions, it also acts as a benchmark for managing workplace behavior.

MEA makes your task easier by producing clear, concise Employee Handbooks that meet regulatory requirements and the policy needs of your organization. 

Properly developed and administered, an Employee Handbook is a powerful tool that can:

• Assist in recruitment and retention of competent personnel
• Promote uniformity and consistency in human resource administration
• Enhance employee-management communication
• Contribute to employee job satisfaction and productivity
• Help maintain a union-free workplace
• Preserve an "at-will" employment relationship
• Help reduce and respond to employee-initiated legal actions

MEA’s HR experts can help you. Members receive a complimentary Employee Handbook that is reviewed by outside counsel and updated annually.  Members can customize the Handbook for their business.

• Initial policy development and drafting
• Special policy research and recommendations
