Handbook
Mitigate Risk of COVID-19 Related Liability Lawsuits
Kansas Manufacturing Solutions has a special offer for a limited number of Kansas manufacturers. (Get a new, legally reviewed and customized employee handbook with a COVID-19 policy addendum for $200!)
Many experts recommend businesses have a written COVID-19 policy in place to protect themselves from liability lawsuits related to COVID-19, as it exhibits that the business is acting pursuant to and in substantial compliance with public health directives applicable to the activity giving rise to the cause of action when the cause of action accrued.
The written COVID-19 policy provides other benefits as well:
- Establishment of protocol expectations for employees
- Reduction of employee fear of uncertainty
- Communicates to the employee that the employer cares about their safety
Kansas Manufacturing Solutions, through the National Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program of which KMS is the Kansas representative, has received a limited amount of CARES Act grant funding that can be applied to the development of COVID-19 policy handbooks for manufacturers. This grant funding will reduce the cost of the handbooks for the manufacturer. Availability of handbook development is limited and can only be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
The two handbook solution options are:
1) COVID-19 Policy Handbook
With this package, only COVID-19 related policies such as but not limited to, PPE requirements, lunch break policy, requesting time off / sick leave and CARES Act policy will be created. Other required policies such as non-discrimination, non-harassment, non-retaliation, NLRB language are not included, which leaves the company at risk for non-COVID-19 related employer issues.
- The fee for development of this handbook is $1,050.
- KMS will subsize the cost so the manufacturer's cost is only $100.
2) Or, the BEST OFFER! New legally reviewed and customized Employee Handbook plus supplemental COVID-19 Policy Handbook
This option provides a comprehensive risk reduction and employee engagement focused Employee Handbook, and a supplemental COVID-19 handbook. The Employee Handbook is legally reviewed and includes customized policies such as your benefits, paid holidays, dress policy, PTO program. KMS partner KR-HR will work closely with owners/senior leaders to understand existing policies, new practices, and make suggestions on additional policies or approaches. The Employee Handbook and supplemental COVID-19 policy handbook are created concurrently.
- The Employee Handbook with the COVID-19 Policy costs only $2,000.
- KMS will subsize the cost so the manufacturer's cost is only $200.
