Sample Employment Handbook Policy: Employee Benefit Program

If your organization offers any employee benefits, this policy should be included. Your policy should state who is responsible for making changes to benefits. Your policy should also state that you have the right to modify or eliminate benefits at any time at the sole discretion of your organization.

Your organization should periodically assess its benefits program. Many factors, such as health insurance legislation, may affect the benefits your organization would like to offer or may be required to provide. Consulting regularly with your benefits administrator or a locally licensed attorney helps ensure your organization complies with applicable law and protects its interests.
