Your employee handbook is more than just a collection of company rules. It’s the foundation for how your business operates, covering everything from legally required policies to your own cultural standards. But simply handing it out isn’t enough. To make your handbook enforceable as well as protect your company and employees, you need proof that every team member has received and reviewed it. That’s where the employee handbook acknowledgment comes in.
As of 2024, five US states require employers to provide short-term disability insurance to workers: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Eligibility requirements, employer contributions rates, and authorized providers vary by state—but in general, businesses with at least one non-owner employee who performs work in one of these states need to obtain coverage to maintain compliance with state law.
Paid time off (PTO) is a progressive policy implemented by businesses to provide employees with a bank of hours that the employee can use to take paid leave from work. This includes time off for various reasons, such as vacation days, sick days, personal time, and sometimes even holidays.
PTO is considered an essential part of an employee’s benefits package, offering a lump sum of time based on certain criteria like the number of hours worked or seniority, which employees can use at their discretion.
