The workplace has changed – and so should your employee handbook. With the new One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act, state-specific regulations, and evolving expectations around remote work, AI, and inclusion, 2026 is the year to update your policies.

This course shows you exactly what to add, revise, or remove to stay compliant and avoid costly violations. Learn how federal and state laws intersect, which policies are “must-haves,” and how to turn your managers into compliance champions.

Attending this webinar will help you understand how new federal and state laws impact your handbook in 2026, identify what to update, add, or remove to stay compliant, and address remote work.
