Employee Handbook Software

An employee handbook gives you the best opportunity to protect yourself from unlawful termination suits and  to clearly communicate your company policies. This user-friendly software does all the work for you. A wizard-based interface guides you through a series of questions, and you select polices that apply to your company. It’s as easy as that.

The software completely automates the process of compiling and formatting the handbook, even customizing it to reflect your company’s identity. The program will produce an employee handbook that is:

• Compliant with California and federal employment laws
• Customized for your company’s size and benefits

The Spanish version of the software allows you to produce an employee handbook in Spanish.

• Wizard interface quickly guides you through simple questions and automatically inserts applicable policies.
• Drag-and-drop tool lets you easily customize policies—based on company size—from a comprehensive library of California-specific and federal policies.
• At-a-glance icons identify policies as mandatory, recommended or optional.
• Auto-update tool keeps your software current throughout 2012.
• Clear and basic explanations clarify each policy in separate windows.
• Use the available option to quickly review new laws and requirements.
• Other features include prepopulated company name, password protection, progress indicator and choice of fonts.
• Software is available in English or Spanish—purchase them as a bundle and save! (Instructions and navigation are in English for both programs.)

This software is Windows compatible only.

1. Am I required to have an employee handbook?
   
   California does not require employers to have a handbook. However, if you create a handbook, there are policies that must be included.
2. Why doesn’t it have both languages within the same program?
   
   To keep costs lower, we offer English and Spanish handbooks separately. We let you choose which program you need. (Instructions and navigation are in English for both programs.) As an added bonus, you get both programs at a discounted price if you buy them as a bundle.
3. Why would I need a Spanish version of the handbook?
   
   California has a large Spanish-speaking workforce, so communicating your policies to employees is important and provides peace of mind. An employee handbook gives you the best opportunity to clearly communicate your company policies and help protect yourself from unlawful termination suits.
4. If I have an existing policy or want to add information to a policy in the software, will it translate it into Spanish?
   
   No. However, if you are a CalChamber member, you are eligible for a free initial consultation and a 15% discount from SpanishOne Translations, made available through our business partner service.
5. What if I need more than one handbook?
   
   Within your company you can make as many handbooks as you need. However, if you are creating handbooks for multiple companies, you need to purchase our Enterprise version. (Please refer to the “Quantity Discounts” tab for more information.)
6. Can I post it to our intranet?
   
   Yes.
7. Can I personalize it with our company logo?
   
   Yes.
8. Do you have technical support if I need assistance?
   
   Yes.
9. What if I need to create an employee handbook immediately?
   
   We can help you download the software immediately from the store site when you use an authorized credit card. We’ll ship a CD to you as a backup if you purchase the software (shipping and handling charges apply) vs. the download only.
   
   Note: If you purchase the download-only version, no CD is shipped and there are no shipping and handling charges.
