Author: Brightmine Editorial Team

When to Use

This checklist can help employers identify recent legal developments that may impact their employee handbook. Organized by jurisdiction, it lists key compliance requirements that have taken effect, or will soon take effect, this year, and that have resulted in updates to employee-facing policies.

Employers should identify the jurisdictions below where they have operations or remote employees. Next, they should review the "When to Include" section of the listed handbook templates to determine if the underlying law applies to their workplace, and then update or add the policies to their handbook as needed.
