Resolutions for the Resolute Employer

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions to improve ourselves. In this spirit, we offer the following resolutions for employers:

My company’s personnel policies will be up to date and in compliance with recent changes in applicable law.
My company will have a written sexual harassment policy, anti-harassment policy, and equal employment opportunity policy. In addition, if my company is subject to the Family Medical Leave Act, we will have the required written policy.
Human Resources will become familiar with the new overtime regulations and will be certain that all company employees are properly classified.
My company will adopt a document retention policy.
There will be no inappropriate documents in the employees’ personnel files.
Our company’s human resources personnel and managers will be properly trained in applicable employment law, including conducting proper investigations of claims.
My company’s employment application and interview checklist will be in compliance with applicable law.
My company will use performance evaluation and disciplinary write-up forms.
My company will schedule regular performance evaluations of our employees during the coming year.
