What You Risk Without a California Employee Handbook
Employee problems and lawsuits are a major burden to California employers. The past decade has seen a big increase in the number of lawsuits based on discrimination, sexual harassment, improper termination, hiring, and poorly drafted employee handbooks.
Lawsuits can put an enormous financial hardship on your company. Damages awarded to employees from lawsuits brought against California employers can range from the low six figures into the millions. Even if the outcome is in your favor, the cost of defending yourself in court might cost from 100,000 to 400,000 dollars.
Why You Need a California Employee Handbook
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that California business owners can protect their company from liability and damages resulting from employee lawsuits by providing clear written workplace policies that cover the rights and responsibilities of their employees.
Studies show that when employees are given clear written policies, expectations, and guidelines to follow, their odds of continuing with their employer rises significantly. In addition, the same information reduces the chance of the employee suing their employer.
Having an employee handbook in print form explaining company policies, employee behavior, and what you expect of them while employed by your company, will go a long way in preventing future workplace disputes.

A Long California Employee Handbook is Risky
Some companies use a long employee handbook. On the surface that may sound like a great idea; however, the reality is that a long handbook is more likely to contain implied contracts between the employer and the employee.
Unintentional implied contracts create a contracted relationship that may change an employee’s employment status from being “at-will” to something legally binding or worse.
There are many court decisions in which an employee has successfully sued their employer for breach of contract because of a poorly worded employee handbook.

California has the most complicated employment laws in the country. Using someone other than a California attorney could put your company at risk for workplace disputes and employment lawsuits. Even if an attorney in another state writes an employee handbook for California, it’s highly unlikely it will be as thorough as one drafted by a California employment law attorney.
