Montana is known as "Big Sky Country" for its vast, open spaces and stunning natural beauty, including the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone National Park. The state's economy is primarily based on agriculture, mining, and tourism. Montana is the nation's top producer of wheat and is also known for its cattle and sheep ranching. The state's mining industry includes coal, gold, silver, and copper. Tourism is also a significant contributor to the state's economy, with millions of visitors attracted to the state's outdoor recreation opportunities, such as skiing, hiking, and hunting.

Small businesses play a crucial role in Montana's economy, accounting for over 97% of all businesses in the state and employing over half of Montana's workforce. Many small businesses in Montana are in the service sector, including restaurants, retail shops, and healthcare providers. Additionally, small businesses in Montana are involved in various industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, and technology. The state provides resources and support to help small businesses succeed, including access to capital, business counseling, and workforce development programs.

The Montana Department of Labor and Industry supports small businesses by providing various programs and resources, including assistance with workforce development, worker protection, and unemployment insurance. The department also provides job training programs and job placement assistance to help businesses find qualified employees. Additionally, the department offers safety and health consultation services to help small businesses ensure a safe and healthy work environment for their employees. The Montana Department of Labor and Industry works closely with small businesses to help them succeed and contribute to the state's economy.

Develop a Montana 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 Montana 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 Montana 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 Montana, labor laws that exceed federal labor law requirements, are created by the Montana Legislature. Enforcement of labor laws in Montana is handled by the Montana Department of Labor and Industry. 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 Montana?

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.
