What SHRM Employee Handbook Builder is

SHRM Employee Handbook Builder is a browser-based service for creating and maintaining customized employee handbooks. Its pre-populated policies are vetted by employment law firm Jackson Lewis and cover federal guidance, all 50 states, and applicable city-specific policies. During an annual subscription, users receive alerts about state and federal law changes, and the handbook is automatically updated. Employers can add a logo and custom policies, then adjust fields, watermarks, headers, and footers. After purchase, a short FMLA interview determines applicable policies and provides policy language. Employees use a custom link and login to view the online handbook, while employers can print copies; professional printing costs extra. The cloud builder works from computers, tablets, and smart devices with internet access. Users cannot import outside handbook language, but may amend or replace provided language after reviewing provisions. Each subscription covers one legal entity. The Premium Employee Handbook Builder costs $499 a year, billed annually.
