Workplace Policies

Workplace Policies

Workplace policies are important because they help resolve issues in the workplace.

One on hand, they provide guidance and clarity to the employees on how the employer operates.  For management, they provide consistency and efficiency in “how” it responds to various issues that arise.

Apart from consistency and efficiency, having clear workplace policies and guidelines can help the employer minimize the risk of lawsuits and quasi-criminal / regulatory proceedings.

Ertl Lawyers collaborates with companies’ human resource professionals, managers, and owners to understand their goals and to draft policies that align with those goals.

Some of the most common policies that we draft include:

  • Codes of Conduct

We were referred to Ertl Lawyers through another business in our industry. We had tripled our workforce, and needed to get serious about our workplace policies.

Highly recommended.
