# Employee Handbook Compliance Review

Make sure your employee handbook protects your business instead of creating liability

$999 — Per handbook review Turnaround: 5-7 business days

An outdated or poorly written employee handbook is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Employment laws change constantly, and handbooks that don't keep up create liability instead of reducing it. Common problems include outdated harassment policies, missing FMLA provisions, non-compliant social media policies, and handbook language that inadvertently creates contractual obligations. Performance West reviews your employee handbook against current federal, state, and local employment laws. We identify provisions that are outdated, missing, or create unintended liability. We check compliance with Title VII, ADA, ADEA, FMLA, FLSA, OSHA, NLRA, and applicable state laws. Our deliverable is a detailed findings report with specific recommended revisions, marked-up sections requiring updates, and new provisions you should add. We also provide template language for missing required policies.

## Risk if non-compliant

47% of employers in 2026 surveys cite discrimination and harassment litigation as their #1 risk. An outdated handbook fails to protect against these claims and may actually create additional liability.

## Frequently asked questions

### How often should I update my handbook?

At minimum annually, and whenever there's a significant change in employment law. We recommend a review after any major court decision or regulatory change in your operating states.

### Do you write the handbook or just review it?

We review existing handbooks and provide revision recommendations. For companies needing a complete handbook from scratch, see our Policy Development service.

### Which state laws do you check?

We check the employment laws of every state where you have employees, as well as applicable local ordinances.

### Does an employee handbook create a contract?

It can, depending on the language used. We specifically check for language that could inadvertently create contractual obligations and recommend appropriate disclaimers.
