Develop a New Mexico 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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico, labor laws that exceed federal labor law requirements, are created by the New Mexico Legislature. Enforcement of labor laws in New Mexico is handled by the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. 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 New Mexico?

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.
