New Providence, NJ (July 8, 2015) – Creating and maintaining a legally compliant employee handbook is a challenging process due to rapidly evolving federal, state and municipal laws and an ever-changing workforce. To help organizations ensure that their employee handbooks remain compliant, XpertHR has created a new http://www.xperthr.com/products/employee-handbooks/?cmpid=PRL|USAG|HUSUN-2015-0629-Employee_HB_Tool_Announcement|&sfid=701w0000001AFhr [online tool], containing hundreds of the most current and robust employee handbook policies, addressing comprehensive workplace policy issues, including the latest trends such as paid sick leave laws.

Developed in conjunction with top global employment law firm, Littler Mendelson, the http://www.xperthr.com/products/employee-handbooks/?cmpid=PRL|USAG|HUSUN-2015-0629-Employee_HB_Tool_Announcement|&sfid=701w0000001AFhr [Employee Handbooks tool] offers a full listing of customizable federal, state and municipal policy templates addressing a range of topic categories, including:
