Policy and Procedure Manuals/Employee Handbooks for Medical Practices
Medical practices often have informal employee guidelines and policies. But in an increasingly litigious environment, it's important to have a formal, written employee policy handbook and policy manual.
Guesswork is eliminated when the employer or employee can refer to a written policy. This is especially important in light of the changing nature and expectations of today's workforce.
The exact content will vary from practice to practice. It is important to specify that the handbook is not a contract of employment. It is also important to note that the employment relationship is “at-will" and subject to termination by either party at any time, without stated cause. The handbook should also contain language that it supersedes all previous handbooks and any oral and written description of the terms and conditions of employment.
