Kansas is known for its vast prairies, which have historically been the breadbasket of America, producing wheat, corn, and other crops. The state has a diverse economy that also includes industries such as aerospace, agriculture, manufacturing, and service industries. Kansas is home to several major corporations such as Koch Industries, Spirit AeroSystems, and Cargill. The state is also known for its beautiful natural attractions such as the Flint Hills, Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, and the Monument Rocks.

Small businesses are an essential part of Kansas's economy, accounting for over 99% of all businesses in the state. The Kansas small business community is diverse, with businesses ranging from family-owned farms to high-tech startups. Small businesses in Kansas employ over half of the state's workforce and contribute significantly to the state's economic growth. The state government provides various resources and support to help small businesses thrive, such as access to funding, training, and networking opportunities.

The Kansas Department of Labor plays a crucial role in supporting small businesses by providing information and resources related to labor laws, safety regulations, and workforce development. The Department also offers assistance to small businesses on issues related to unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, and workplace safety. The Department's Small Business Services division provides personalized support to small businesses, helping them navigate the various regulatory requirements and access the resources they need to succeed. Additionally, the Department's Business Services team provides recruitment and training services to help small businesses find the skilled workers they need to grow and thrive.

Develop a Kansas employee handbook for your business.

A properly crafted employee handbook provides communication of company policy to all employees, and prospective employees. Labor laws require that all businesses have written policy and enforce policies uniformly with all employees. An employee handbook is simply the best, most cost-effective method for complying with this requirement. A variety of methods can be used to inform employees. Posters are popular in some cases, but most often the best method is an employee handbook.

What should be included in a Kansas employee handbook?

As a matter of legal concerns, any policy the company would want to enforce should be clearly documented for the benefit of both the employer and employee. Particularly any policy that could impact hiring or dismissal of any employee, belongs in the employee handbook. If federal minimum standards are used as Kansas standards, the federal guidelines should be included as company policy.

Other helpful information to include.

A well-constructed employee handbook can also include, as a matter of convenience, contact email addresses and phone numbers, holiday schedules, Human Resources Department hours, office hours, and any other information likely to answer employee questions about day-to-day operations.

Resources for maintaining policies per state and federal labor laws.

In Kansas, labor laws that exceed federal labor law requirements, are created by the Kansas State Legislature. Enforcement of labor laws in Kansas is handled by the Kansas Department of Labor. This agency also processes labor law disputes.

Federal labor laws are developed and posted by The U.S. Department of Labor. To gather current information regarding a specific labor guideline, visit the Guidance Search Device. Additional information can be found via the Employer.gov website.

Who should develop an employee handbook for your small business in Kansas?

If you intend to create an employee handbook from scratch, it is recommended to use HR professionals and attorneys for this monumental task.

However, this project can be simplified by using an employee handbook template. Quality templates, offered by trusted suppliers, can expedite the process from weeks or months, to an hour or so. Templates also reduce costs significantly.
