Taking care of business: employee handbooks

An employee handbook is a powerful tool to communicate your organization’s policies and culture, which can help set the tone for the entire employment relationship. It can also form the first line of defense in an employment lawsuit or investigation. If your company doesn’t have a handbook, or it hasn’t been reviewed in the last year, this webinar takes a deep dive into the most important policies for your handbook and what you’ll want to consider when drafting them.

Available webinar: Pay equity

Pay equity is a topic that affects everyone, from first-time job seekers who want a fair employer to experienced leaders who want to attract and keep talent that drives innovation.

It seems simple enough, but implementing fair pay is a complex process that requires:

  • Good data
  • Ongoing reviews
  • A willingness to reexamine assumptions about who fills different kinds of roles
  • A cultural commitment to compensating every employee appropriately

And, as you’ll see from an Insperity blog post about the topic, pay equity:

  • Is required by law
  • Offers a competitive advantage
  • Requires ongoing commitment to understand, implement and maintain

The push for pay equity has been gaining steam and shows no signs of slowing down. The entire country is subject to the federal Equal Pay Act—which became more aggressive in the 9th circuit in 2018 due to a court ruling—and more than half a dozen states have enhanced their own equal pay acts in the past few years, with many more considering such legislation in the future.

In addition, numerous states and localities have created salary history inquiry bans and created additional protections for employees who want to discuss their wages. And even in states that don’t pass many of their own employment laws, the publicity around this topic is likely to lead to more federal claims.
