Dear Reader and User,
On behalf of The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry and SkarlatosZonarich LLC, I would like to welcome you to the use of this unique publication. We have endeavored to create a practical guide for you to use in preparing, reviewing, and revising your own employee handbook or employment policies.
There are very few aspects of the employment relationship that raise as many different legal concerns as the preparation and use of employment policies. At the same time, few things have such great effect on the practical side of the employment relationship – from employee motivation, to job satisfaction, to quality performance – as an employee handbook. This manual is unique because it addresses both the practical and the legal issues involved in the creation and implementation of employment policies in one easy-to-use publication. It also is unique because it is tailored for use exclusively by Pennsylvania private sector employers.
Our hope is that you will benefit not only from the sample policies provided but also from taking the time to review the summaries included in this manual. These summaries present a concise and practical survey of Pennsylvania and federal employment law, touching on almost every element...
