California Workplace Solutions
Our Workplace Solutions Division is committed to helping employers stay in compliance with the ever-changing California labor laws and use the finest workplace practices. We want business owners to prevent claims whenever possible and protect their assets.
EMPLOYER COUNSELING. Our team offers employer counseling on an as needed basis, or monthly with our streamlined Workplace Solutions Program. This Program offers priority assistance to employers to help reduce the risk of common employee lawsuits and other claims, for a flat monthly fee.
We typically offer employer representatives such as owners and managers:
- Consulting and training on all aspects of the employment relationship as issues or questions arise;
- Support and guidance on company decisions regarding sensitive employee relations matters such as hiring, job performance, management, attendance and time off/leave issues, employee grievances, progressive discipline, and terminations;
- Coaching on when and how to conduct internal investigations;
- Preparation or revision of unique forms, notices, and other documents for personnel actions; and
- Creation of effective steps to handle crises, claims, government audits and other unanticipated events.
EMPLOYER DOCUMENTS. We provide employee handbooks, policies, contracts, personnel and disciplinary forms, and correspondence to help reduce employer liability.
Our Employee Handbooks are customized to help businesses maintain compliance with the latest employment laws, to educate staff, and to reduce liability. The Employee Handbook Package includes: one (1) customized Company Handbook tailored to the Client’s industry, needs and specific workplace policies and procedures, plus over 40 tailored Personnel Forms. Our Handbook Packages are available in English and Spanish. Click here to request more information.
We highly recommend annual updated Handbooks, as they incorporate new laws and provide a timely review of existing handbook policies. We offer a reasonable annual fee for our Handbook Package update. Click here to request more information.
California law requires employers to establish other written plans or face penalties and lawsuits. As two examples, every employer must have a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and an Injury and Illness Prevention Plan in place. These must meet extensive criteria, be updated regularly, and be implemented carefully as you train your employees on their rights and responsibilities. Click here for more information.
