It's that time of year again! Time to start over fresh and strive to be a better version of yourself. The same should be true for your business! Start 2017 by taking steps toward legal compliance.

One easy way to get started is to update your employee handbook. An up-to-date handbook customized for your business culture and industry can provide a strong line of defense to minimize liability.

Federal, South Carolina, and local laws & regs have changed a great deal in the last 5 years; therefore, if your business is still using a handbook from 2012, you need to update it. Further, if your handbook is based on your national organization's handbook or (worse) a template found on Google, it may not be compliant under SC law.

Too busy to spend time updating your handbook yourself? Want to have it reviewed by legal counsel? Palmetto Legal Solutions is here to help! Happy New Year! 🍾🎉

Small organizations may be intimidated by the work that goes into putting an employee handbook together, but there are dangers of NOT having one!

Update: The DOL will appeal the order granting the injunction.

Regardless of the future legal status of the DOL regulations, the changes may end up becoming fixed in many organizations simply because many employers are uncomfortable walking them back for fear of damaging employee morale and engagement.

Praying for everyone affected by Hurricane Matthew. This weekend, I've been thinking a lot about the poor people in Haiti, particularly th children, who have lost so much due to another natural disaster. When I was in law school, we attended a church whose pastor had set up an orphanage in Haiti so that children orphaned by the earthquake would have shelter, food, and education. The struggles we have faced this weekend have reminded me of how truly blessed we are, and how important it is that we share our blessings with one another. Palmetto Legal Solutions gladly supports Alex's House Orphanage. www.alexshouseorphanage.org
