We often see small businesses that started with just a few family members or friends and over the years the business grows, employees have doubled or more and suddenly they realize that there is no rhyme or reason to rules. There is no structure to how they are being enforced and most importantly the lack of consistency is making them vulnerable to discrimination issues.
What to do?
Start by reviewing your current policies and procedures. HR Solutions suggests Employee Handbooks or Policies should be reviewed at a minimum every 3 years.
Do these policies, that may have at one time been viable, still meet all of your business needs? Do your policies meet all Federal, State and local legal requirements?
If you can comfortably answer “yes”, you need to reiterate your business expectations to your employees through the handbook.
“Re-Issue” the handbook and have your employee’s sign-off that they have received.
If you don’t have a handbook, now is the time to consider starting one.
HR Solutions, LLC can assist by reviewing your current structure, employee status, and needs to assure you are running a fair, consistent, and compliant organization.
