Employee Handbook Builder for compliant, multi-state workforces
Create, customize, and maintain a compliant employee handbook with attorney-reviewed policies, built-in guidance, and real-time update alerts—so you stay ahead of changing laws without starting over.
Create, maintain, and share a compliant employee handbook
Attorney-written employee handbook policies with built-in explanations
BLR’s Employee Handbook Builder includes policies written and reviewed by Jackson Lewis employment attorneys. Each policy features built-in “Explain this to me” guidance that clearly describes what the policy means, when it applies, and why it matters—helping HR teams make confident compliance decisions aligned with federal and state employment laws.
Employee handbook software for multi-state compliance
Employee Handbook Builder supports multi-state employers by dynamically applying the correct policies based on where employees work. A guided questionnaire tailors content by jurisdiction and company profile, allowing HR teams to manage multiple handbooks or versions while maintaining consistency and state-specific compliance from one centralized platform.
Collaborative handbook creation with full version history
Designed for modern HR workflows, the platform enables collaboration through shared reviews, tracked edits, and documented policy decisions. HR teams can invite reviewers, leave internal notes on specific policies, and accept or reject changes with full version history—reducing errors, rework, and approval delays.
Ongoing handbook maintenance with real-time policy updates
Unlike basic handbook tools, BLR’s solution supports continuous compliance after publication. HR teams receive real-time policy update notifications by email and within the platform, can review exactly what changed, and apply updates without overwriting custom language. Global find-and-replace tools further accelerate handbook maintenance.
Publish and distribute employee handbooks securely
Employee Handbook Builder allows organizations to publish handbooks immediately or schedule releases for a future date. Handbooks can be delivered as PDFs, hosted on employee access pages, or shared via QR codes—ensuring employees always access the most current version. The platform meets WCAG accessibility standards, with multilingual options available upon request.
Who uses Employee Handbook Builder
Employee Handbook Builder is designed for small HR teams without in-house legal counsel, growing organizations managing multi-state workforces, PEOs and HR service providers, and compliance-driven industries that require defensible, up-to-date employee documentation.
