Examples of Employment Policies
Important disclaimer: The policies available in this section are only examples and are furnished merely as illustrations of their respective categories. They are not meant to be taken and used without consultation with a licensed employment law attorney. If you are in need of a policy for a particular situation, you should keep in mind that any sample policy such as the ones available here would need to be reviewed, and possibly modified, by an employment law attorney in order to fit your situation and to comply with the laws of your state. Downloading, printing, or reproducing any of these policies in any manner constitutes your agreement that you understand this disclaimer and that you will not use the policy for your company or individual situation without first having it approved and, if necessary, modified by an employment law attorney of your choice.

Again, it is not recommended to simply adopt these sample policies for your situation without first seeking the advice of an employment law attorney. There is almost an infinite variety of policies for various kinds of workplaces and different kinds of situations. Moreover, the laws vary widely from state to state in some areas of employee relations. Thus, it is very important to make sure that what you have in your policy handbook not only truly meets your needs, but also complies with your state's law.
