Employee Handbook & Policy Consulting
Why Every Business Needs Clear Policies
A well-written employee handbook is more than a formality—it’s a vital tool for communication, consistency, and compliance. Todd Uzelac Law helps small and midsize employers across Schererville, Crown Point, Porter County, and beyond create policies that fit their team and industry. With clear language and legally sound structure, your handbook can prevent misunderstandings and support a professional workplace culture.
Key Policies for Indiana Employers
We draft and update handbooks that address:
Anti-discrimination and harassment prevention
Work hours, overtime, and compensation practices
Leave policies, including PTO, FMLA, and sick time
Code of conduct, discipline, and social media usage
Health and safety standards relevant to your business
Our attorneys ensure your policies reflect current Indiana and federal law while remaining practical for your size and structure.
How We Help With HR Policy Development
Todd Uzelac Law doesn’t just write policies—we help employers understand them. We draft customized handbooks, review existing ones for compliance, and monitor legislative updates that may require revisions. When laws or company structures change, we help roll out updates smoothly and communicate them clearly to your staff.
Common Questions About Employee Handbooks
What legal disclaimers should my handbook include?
Each handbook should include acknowledgment forms, at-will employment language, and a statement reserving your right to make changes.
Can an employee handbook be considered a contract?
Not if drafted properly. We structure handbooks to serve as policy guides, not binding employment contracts.
How often should my handbook be reviewed or revised?
Annually—or sooner if there are new laws or organizational changes.
What if my company only has a few employees?
Even small businesses benefit from a clear handbook. It helps owners handle disputes consistently and sets expectations as the team grows.
