Employment laws vary from state-to-state.  Laws in Your State are unique. 

There are many laws that protect and provide specific rights to employees.
Your employee handbook must properly address these laws, which change from
state-to-state.

To maximize your protection against Employee lawsuits, your Employee Handbook must have policies that comply with the unique laws of your state as well as Federal Laws.  

Our Attorney written Complete Employee Handbook for Your State complies with 
the Laws of Your State and Federal Laws.

Each state-specific Company Policy conforms to the applicable state law on which the Company Policy is based.  Company Policies based on federal law conform to Federal Law.  

With respect to our Legal Agreements and Human Resource Forms, the Legal Forms and Human Resource Forms comply to Federal Law.

The first is for companies that are required to adopt a Drug-Free Workplace Policy such as Federal Contractors or recipients of federal grants.

The second is for companies having employees working in safety-sensitive functions regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, such as commercial vehicle drivers.

The translation from the English versions of our Employee Manuals to our Spanish Employee Manuals was by qualified translators fluent in both Spanish and English.
