HR Handbook and Policies & Procedures Manual
We can help you develop your HR handbook; developing your policies and procedures manual and/or simply drafting specific policies such as zero tolerance harassment policies, use of social network, electronic mail acceptable use, retention and management, acceptable dress code, code of conduct, authorization/approval matrices, and workplace safety, among others. These policies create uniformity and provide standards for everyone to adhere to. Absence of establish expectations leads to confusion, loss of productivity, decline in staff morale and potential lawsuits. In addition, we can also help you with policies and practices to ensure clear guidelines are in place to properly classify employees as well as provide expertise, representation and services in the event of an audit by your vendors, outside accounting firm, IRS, state, federal, administrative bodies such as Massachusetts Employment & Training, Wage and Hour division, US Department of Labor, and US Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services.
I-9 Employment verification and compliance consulting services
Many of the technical and even substantive violations can be avoided and easily overcome by having the Form I-9 process diligently supervised and monitored by a company’s Human Resource Department or a person familiar with the requirements. In the current environment of increased worksite enforcement efforts by ICE and other federal agencies, the Employment Eligibility Verification process must not be taken lightly.
We can help you create a road map that allows you to not only comply initially at the time of hiring but to continue maintenance of your I-9 required documentation going forward.
