What Policies Illinois Employers Should Be Sure to Include in Their Employee Handbooks (and What to Leave out)! 

Presented by Wessels Sherman attorneys Nancy Joerg and Tony Caruso.

Have you ever wondered if your employee handbook is really up-to-date and complete? Are you in the process of re-writing your handbook and you’re not sure what you should, or should not, include? This teleseminar is for you and will cover:

• What is the purpose of a handbook?
• What specific language employers should and shouldn't use?
• How to strategically cover employee benefits?
• What should employee handbooks say regarding pay raises and performance reviews?

You and your staff will learn all of this with no lost travel time or expense. No special equipment is required to participate in the live interactive program - all you need is a standard telephone.
