Handbook Analysis Summary I found several errors with the handbook policy regarding discrimination, retaliation, jury duty, and disability. This can be because of typos because some of the information is correct and just needs to be adjusted a bit. I did notice that when recommending the editing of the policy simply adding the word “not” can fix it for most but also with some rewording can help since the typos seem to be noticeable trend throughout the document. Risk Ranking Rationale In total I found nine that need to be addressed with different risk rankings. The errors I found are ranked in the order I believe should below: 1. “We tolerate discrimination” This is high risk because it is not aligned with EEOC laws and regulations. This is a risk to the company because it may result in lawsuits or fines. The company needs to rewrite stating that “We do not tolerate discrimination” because this is coordinate with the EEOC laws and regulations. 2. “A manager may scream at or demote an employee who files a complaint against them.” This is high risk because this is promoting retaliation and harassment. This is a result in lawsuits or fines because this does not follow the EEOC policy. The company needs to rewrite stating “Managers need to promote a healthy work environment, have a non- retaliation policy, and no tolerance of harassment. 3. “Employees who complain may receive decreased wages.” This is high risk because it is an example of retaliation. This is a risk to the company because it can result in lawsuits or fines because this does not follow the EEOC policy. The company needs to rewrite
stating “Employees have the right the file a complaint without getting punished because we do not discriminate or retaliate.” 4. “Employees who are being compensated for jury duty shall sign their compensation over to their supervisor or their supervisor’s designee for immediate spending.” This is high risk because it does not align with the FLSA laws and regulations. This is a high risk for the company because it may result in fines from the DOL. 5. “Reasonable accommodation shall only be provided to enable qualified or employees with disabilities to perform essential job functions.” This is high risk because this is not discriminating and violating. This does not follow with the DOL. This needs to state, “Any employee with a disability will have reasonable accommodations according to their needs.” 6. “May be terminated at any point without warning.” This is medium risk because this is not accurate for an at-will employee. It contradicts the last statement that an employee can be terminated at will. 7. “File a compliant directly with HR director.” This is at medium risk and an easy fix. This needs to state that employees can file a complaint with the DOL. 8. “Employees not being able to complete civic duty by volunteering for jury duty. This is at medium risk and also an easy fix. This does need to state that “Employees have the right to complete civic duty by volunteering for jury duty.” 9. “Applicants who require reasonable accommodation for job applications, interviews, or job assessments must submit a report that outlines their disabilities along with personal references and a history of medical conditions.” This is low risk because HR deals with hiring. This poses a risk to the business because it can lead to discrimination against
