Forum Questions About Employment Handbook

Employment Handbook

California

Asked on Oct 27, 2024

Can my employer legally enforce a new policy in the employment handbook without notifying or obtaining consent from employees?

I recently received an updated copy of the employment handbook at my workplace, which included a new policy that significantly changes the dress code requirements. However, I was not notified about this change beforehand, nor was I asked to provide any consent or agreement to the new policy. I am wondering if my employer has the legal right to enforce this policy without proper notification or obtaining consent from the employees.

Patrick W.

Answered Nov 19, 2024

Yes. If you are in an at will state and your employment is not for a period of time, your continued employment and aware of the new policy is adequate grounds for enforcing a new policy as a basis for employment termination or employment discipline.

Asked on Sep 13, 2024

Can my employer change the policies in the employment handbook without notifying the employees?

I recently discovered that my employer made significant changes to the employment handbook, including policies regarding vacation time, sick leave, and disciplinary procedures, without notifying the employees or providing us with an updated version of the handbook. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether my employer can enforce them without proper notification and acknowledgment from the employees.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 4, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Generally, if you have a contract (the handbook or policy), then you are bound to those terms. If the employer changes the terms, they are allowed to; however, they need to give you some notice of the change in those specific terms in advance. This means that they should give you notice equal to the time between pay periods (e.g. two weeks). If they make a change, then it's not technically enforceable until you get proper notice. The notice does not need to be in writing. Good luck! Dolan
