Terminating or disciplining an employee for a failure to meet arbitrary standards is risky business. Employers are responsible for setting standards by which they expect their employees to comply and distributing such policies in such a manner that employees may be expected to comply. This may come in the form of standalone policies, policies requiring the employee’s signature, or, more generally, employee handbooks.

Our firm offers our services to employers to draft and/or review employee policies before they are distributed, to ensure clarity and consistency across all departments. We’ll help raise the questions that your internal team may not have thought of when drafting the policies, and ensure that your team is aware of the interpretation of the policies and how to apply them consistently.

The bottom line is that the clearer your policy and the more consistent your application the less litigation risk you’ll face. Should your team have any questions about how to administer a policy, we’re available to consult on individual situations. Contact Us today to see how we can help you!
