The End of Year HR Punchlist
.jpg)
Earlier in the week we discussed policies and procedures that should be in place to deal with end of year employee departures. Companies should also consider a number of other HR related issues as the year draws to a close. Here are my thoughts:
- Evaluation of all employment policies, including the employee handbook;
- A review of all federal and state law changes that may impact employment practices - talk to your lawyer;
- A review of all employment contracts;
- A review of all employment files - are they up to snuff?; and
- An evaluation as to whether the company should adopt post-employment covenants including non-competes, non-solicitations, and garden leave policies.
Now is the time to make any necessary changes before the New Year begins. Let me know if you have any additions to the list.
