Employee Handbooks
Employment Agreements

With so many regulations, it can be hard to understand exactly what policies your handbook should include. That’s why SixFifty has created a helpful resource for your business to see what federal and state guidelines your company should be following on a state-by-state basis.

If you are looking for more help creating your own employee handbook, SixFifty’s Employee Handbook can be customized to your business (including businesses that operate in multiple states). Our tool guides you through an employee policy assessment, then uses your answers to customize the employment documents for your business.

Employment laws have changed more in the past 18 months than in the previous 40 years and vary widely from state to state. With more employees working from different states than ever before, the old way of creating Employment Agreements won’t work anymore.

SixFifty worked with the top law firms in the nation to automate the employment agreements you need to hire employees in every state. Whether you need offer letters, employee contracts, separation agreements, independent contractor agreements, or NDAs, we can help.
