Ventura County - Your Employee Handbook: A Guide to Legal Compliance, or a Roadmap to Litigation?

A strategically-sound and legally-compliant employee handbook is arguably the most critical document employers can implement to protect a California workplace. To provide the greatest source of information to employees, along with the best protection for employers, employee handbooks should be updated annually to incorporate new legislation and recent case law, as well as strategic provisions designed to protect the company from employee claims.
