Employee Handbook

A Handbook Built for Your Business—and Built to Stay Current

Your employee handbook should do more than list policies. It should clearly communicate expectations, reflect how your organization operates, support your culture, and help protect your business.

MBR develops customized employee handbooks based on your organization, workforce, locations, and applicable employment requirements. We build every handbook from the ground up using current federal, state, and applicable local requirements rather than simply updating an outdated document. And because employment laws change, you can choose ongoing handbook maintenance to help keep your policies current after the initial handbook is complete.

What’s Included

1. Company & Policy Intake

We’ll meet with you to learn about your organization, employees, locations, current practices, benefits, workplace expectations, and any company-specific policies that need to be addressed.

2. Customized Handbook Development

MBR will develop a new employee handbook tailored to your organization and the jurisdictions in which you have employees.

If you already have a handbook, we’ll review it to understand your current policies, terminology, culture, and practices. We do not simply edit or update an existing handbook. Instead, we build a new handbook using current standards to create a more consistent and compliant foundation.

3. Review & Finalization

Once the initial draft is complete, we’ll meet with you to review it, answer questions, and capture your feedback. One review meeting and the resulting revisions are included. Your completed handbook will then be delivered in an editable format for future use.

4. Optional Ongoing Maintenance

Employment laws and regulations continue to change after your handbook is delivered. With a Handbook Maintenance Subscription, MBR will monitor relevant changes and provide compliance-related updates to your handbook during the subscription period.

Handbook Pricing

You will choose the combination and number of states you need covered.

  • Less than 50 employees, one state – $1,125
  • More than 50 employees, one state – $1,375
  • Each additional state – $375
  • Each additional local jurisdiction – $375

Have employees in multiple states or cities? Request a quote and we’ll help determine which jurisdictions should be included.

Keep Your Handbook Current

Handbook Maintenance Subscription (Recommended – Paid Upfront):

  • 12-Month Subscription: 40% of initial handbook fee
  • 24-Month Subscription: 60% of initial handbook fee

You may purchase the handbook without a maintenance subscription. Future reviews, revisions, or updates will be billed at MBR’s then-current hourly rates.

What Isn’t Included?

Services outside the standard handbook development process may be provided separately, including:

  • Custom policies unrelated to legal or compliance updates
  • Operational or culture-driven policy changes requested after development
  • Additional review meetings or rounds of revisions
  • Strategic HR consultation outside the handbook process
  • Significant changes to your workforce, locations, or operations after the project begins

We’ll let you know before performing work that falls outside the original scope.

Developed with Compliance in Mind

MBR’s handbook policies have been developed in consultation with employment law attorneys and are designed around current HR and compliance practices. Your organization always retains the ability to modify its policies. However, changes made outside MBR’s recommendations may affect the consistency or compliance of the handbook. MBR provides HR consulting services and does not provide legal advice.

What to Expect After You Purchase

Once your handbook project is confirmed, an MBR team member will contact you to schedule your intake meeting and provide information about anything we need from you before we get started. Your initial handbook draft will be prepared within 30 days of the start of the project.
