Webinar: Making Your Employee Handbook Work for Your Employees and the School Wednesday, April 24, 2024 (2pm - 3pm US/Eastern) Zoom Meeting

Employee Handbooks are often glossed over with all that busy schools need to manage but a well-thought-out and updated handbook can both manage community expectations and ensure that the school is legally compliant. Handbooks can have their own character to match that of the school but there are certain policies that should be in all handbooks—anti-harassment and anti-discrimination provisions with clear and succinct reporting procedures and anti-retaliation reminders; whistleblower provisions; properly worded leave rights; and many other clauses which will ensure that the school is complying with its legal obligations and can defend itself when sued. At the same time, many provisions will also help to ensure that the school has been clear in its expectations, which will enable employees to understand what is expected and avoid surprises when a rule is enforced. When done right, handbooks can help the school focus on its mission and avoid misunderstandings that can take it off track.
