Employment Compliance & HR Policies

Employment Policy Development & Handbook Creation: Foundational Guidance for Workplace Compliance

Effective workplace policies are the cornerstone of legal compliance and operational consistency. At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we assist businesses of all sizes in developing legally sound and strategically crafted employment policies and employee handbooks tailored to their workforce and industry. Our attorneys work proactively with employers to create documentation that supports HR practices, limits liability, and reflects the organization’s culture and values.

Why Policy Development Matters

Employee handbooks are more than onboarding tools—they serve as important risk management documents that help protect employers from legal disputes. We help clients:

• Draft customized employee handbooks that meet federal and North Carolina requirements
• Ensure compliance with EEOC regulations and anti-discrimination laws
• Outline leave policies, remote work protocols, disciplinary procedures, and termination standards
• Incorporate workplace safety, social media, and technology use policies
• Address wage and hour compliance, benefits, and paid leave

We also review and revise existing handbooks to reflect regulatory updates or organizational growth.

Local Counsel for Multi-Jurisdictional Employers

Robinson & Lawing, LLP serves as local counsel to out-of-state companies and general counsel teams. We help align employment policies with North Carolina law while supporting broader compliance frameworks. Our role ensures clarity, minimizes exposure, and keeps employer documentation up-to-date with evolving legal standards.

Prioritizing Prevention Through Proactive Planning

While many employment law matters arise from disputes, policy development is one of the most proactive legal strategies a business can employ. Our attorneys work collaboratively with HR teams to ensure policies are clear, defensible, and easy to administer. We also assist in training supervisors and employees to promote awareness and consistent application.
