Employee Handbook Template Builder

The Employee Handbook Builder is an affordable, easy-to-use, online tool that allows you to build, update, and customize employee handbooks for your business. Our legal partners provide state-specific policies to subscribers that are reviewed and updated throughout the year.

A true Employee Handbook builder software solution – Our Employee Handbook Builder includes intuitive processes, customization options, and guidance during the entire build process.

Federal and State law compliance Some states have requirements that supersede federal laws on common employee handbook provisions. The Employee Handbook Builder provides special sections for your state in the trickiest areas, like sexual harassment and leaves of absence.

Policy updates – When employment law changes affect your employee handbook, we update policies to comply. We’ll send you an alert with simple instructions on how to add the new language.
