Human Resources
As a small/medium sized business, it's your employees that keep things humming. Having employees, however, can create a new list of federal and state mandated responsibilities for the business. Additionally, you'll find it much easier to manage your employee relationships where you have formal guidelines and agreements in place. These documents are essential to the management of employees, and to the adherence of employee related laws. If you are not sure which documents apply to your business, contact our office to schedule a consultation.

Employee Handbook Acknowledgment
$29.95

Such a contract could limit your right to discipline and terminate your employees. This Employee Handbook Acknowledgment form can help you guard against such claims because it informs employees clearly and unambiguously that the handbook does not create a contract. You should be aware, however, that if your actions or if documents otherwise create a contract with your employees, this form on its own will not be enough to protect you.
