Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Louisville Employment Attorneys

Our experienced Louisville employment attorneys & lawyers can help guide you on how to proceed with various employee decisions such as reviewing employee documents such as contracts, agreements, policies, and handbooks, along with difficult decisions such as firing, lawsuits, claims, and complaints.

Although not every single employment contract will require legal assistance, many employment lawyers would recommend avoiding unilateral employment contracts that strongly benefit one side over the other. These types of employee contracts rarely hold up in court, yet having the funds needed to combat an issue in court can limit the employee’s options.

A confidentiality agreement and a non-compete agreement are common forms of employee contracts that one of our Louisville employment attorneys can help customize for your business. If your business needs to fire an employee, proper measures should be taken from a business legal standpoint to ensure proper communication and a smooth transition of dismissing that employee. In any case, we suggest you connect with our employment attorneys to discuss your options.

If You Need Ongoing Legal Counsel or Ad-hoc Legal Work - We Can Help!

Improve Your Legal ROI with Affordable Employment Attorneys that service Louisville, KY.

What Is an Employee Handbook: Core Policies

  • 19 min read

Key Takeaways

  • If you’re targeting “what is an employee handbook,” emphasize that a handbook sets expectations, reflects culture, and reduces legal risk—without becoming an employment contract. 
  • Handbooks should be easy to access, consistently applied, and treated as “living” documents that you update as laws and practices change. 
  • Pair your handbook with (separate) policy & procedure manuals: the handbook explains the “what/why,” while manuals cover step-by-step “how.” 
  • Include clear disclaimers: not a contract, at-will employment, policy supersession, and the employer’s right to revise. 
  • Strengthen sections many competitors skip: remote/hybrid work, BYOD & dat
