Workplace Policy Handbook & Forms for 2026

We are updating our "hire-to-fire" forms and template policy manual for 2026. Place your order to be one of the first to receive these updates.

Basic written office policy and procedures geared toward production create an easily navigable workplace, helping reduce the inter-staff confusions and operations slows.

Our 2026 model forms include:

• Employment application and accompanying job description prototype(including key requirements for Americans with Disabilities Act compliance and California's constitutional privacy protections);
• Pre-employment protocols (properly positioning the process to meet changing legal requirements);
• Employment agreement (including non-disclosure of private company data);
• Alternative dispute resolution agreement (also properly setting terms to match changing standards for private mediation and arbitration in lieu of court action);
• Meal and rest period acknowledgments (confirming employer provision of required breaks);
• Termination policy, checklist and standard release (to be applied as appropriate for full transition and greater protection against later, preventable suits);
• Paid sick leave benefits under federal and California directives; and

Our comprehensive 80-plus page model employee handbook, 2026 edition, covers:

• Defined employment conditions (including mutual "at will" termination rights);
• Discrimination and harassment, prevention and handling (including pandemic-driven standards);
• Employee compensation;
• Employee benefits;

• Job-related injury or illness (including prevention plan priorities); and
• Drug and alcohol policy (including testing and violations procedures and standards).

Feedback from a recent recipient:

"Tim's office makes HR matters so much easier! We just have to do what they tell us to do. We order their updated hiring forms and employee handbook each year and it keeps us protected simply with the correct up-to-date wording (since laws are always changing) that we would otherwise not know about. Just the hiring forms alone have saved us thousands of dollars in one lawsuit. We also take part in their yearly HR seminar, which keeps us up-to-date on new laws and key points to follow to keep us protected. I HIGHLY recommend any employer to connect with Tim and his team - especially in these current times!" - LO
