Exercise II

An employee handbook/policy manual is a valuable resource for employers and employees. It provides guidance on an employer's policies and procedures for numerous items, including but not limited to, organizational overview, policies and procedures, benefits, and so much more. Employers should provide employees with these written policies and procedures, and also require a written confirmation from the employee to acknowledge receipt of the written policies and procedures. The policies and procedures should also note that any document should not be construed as an employment agreement (so as not to affect employment at-will status) and note that they are subject to change by the employer. It is also important that an organization have any documents reviewed by legal counsel. For this assignment, you are the Human Resources Manager for an Ohio company with over 200 employees, and you will submit an MS Word document in the format below as part of your organization's policies for the following required areas (an employee handbook would generally have many more sections):

Section 1 - Overview a. Provide your organization's purpose of the employee handbook b. Provide your organization's "Equal Opportunity" statement. Section 2 - Policies and Procedures a. Provide your organization's policy with the Americans with Disabilities Act. b. Provide your organization's policy on Overtime c. Provide your organization's policy on Social Media Use d. Provide your organization's policy on its COVID vaccination mandate Section 3 - Benefits a. Provide your organization's Vacation Benefits b. Provide your organization's Family and Medical Leave Benefits Section 4 - Receipt and Acknowledgement a. Provide an employee receipt and acknowledgement statement for the employee to sign.

In the document, provide the required information based on the template provided above supporting legal references (federal and state statutes, regulations, caselaw and/or other legal references for each section's subsections)
