Employee Handbook
Employee Handbook
Project details
What we need
- Audit of existing Employee Handbook, or internal communications regarding employment policies
- Edit or creation of a new Employee Handbook, which may include any of the following: Standards of Conduct, Work Schedules, Leave Policies, Termination Policies, Safety and Security, Anti-Discrimination policies, Compensation and Benefits policies, any Non-Disclosure Agreements or Conflict of Interest statements that may apply, and any other pertinent information
What we have in place
- Our current Employee Handbook was last revised in 2010. CHAPA's Deputy Director is available to help in any way needed.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,430 , allowing us to use our resources to help 100 low income people across MA.
CHAPA’s success depends on its small but dedicated staff of 12 employees. In order to retain and recruit exceptional employees, we need personnel policies that reflect best practices around family leave and other benefits and procedures. We want to make sure we are treating our staff as well as possible (within our budget constraints). In fact, we have several newer staff members who may want to have children one day, and we want to make sure we are a family-friendly place! Since we are based in Massachusetts, it would be helpful to work with a professional who understands Massachusetts law.
