Oklahoma is known for its rich Native American history, cowboy culture, and oil production. With a population of around four million, Oklahoma is also home to a number of attractions and sites, including the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum, the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Additionally, Oklahoma has a strong sports culture, with many residents supporting the state's football and basketball teams.

Small businesses play a crucial role in Oklahoma's economy, making up around 97% of all businesses in the state. The state offers several programs and resources for small businesses, including the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center, which provides assistance with business planning, marketing, and financial management. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce also offers tax credits and incentives to small businesses that create new jobs in the state. With a low cost of living and access to a highly skilled workforce, Oklahoma is a great place for entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses.

The Oklahoma Department of Labor is responsible for ensuring the safety and health of workers in the state, as well as enforcing labor laws and providing training and education programs for employers and employees. The department also offers assistance to small businesses in the form of compliance and safety consultations, as well as training programs for workplace safety and health. Additionally, the department's Wage and Hour Division enforces minimum wage and overtime laws, as well as child labor laws, to protect workers' rights and ensure fair working conditions.

Develop an Oklahoma 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 an Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma 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.

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 Oklahoma?

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.
