Whether your organization is large or small, Policies Now can help you achieve the kind of professional results you would expect from attorneys or consultants.
Amazon.com Review
Policies Now is an uncomplicated, no-frills application containing all the basic information any employer might need to create an employee handbook. Installation is somewhat lengthy, but also very straightforward. Policies Now is simple enough for the most novice user. Its navigation, menus, and word processing functions will seem familiar to the everyday user, and can be mastered with very little research and training.p Policies Now walks you through the process of setting up and creating your employee handbook. Start out by entering the vital stats of your company, such the organization's name, address, Web page, logo, etc. After completing this stage choose from several different kinds of handbook styles, then move on to choosing the content for your handbook. You can select from lists of policies in such employee handbook categories as Introduction, Employment, Employment Status Records, Employee Benefit Programs, Timekeeping/Payroll, and others. You can also customize categories based on any material Policies Now might not include.p It is important to note that Policies Now content is written based on California state laws. While most other state laws are similar, it can't be guaranteed that they're the same. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that their final policies comply with their states laws.p Overall, Policies Now is a straightforward, easy-to-use program that saves employers precious time and money.

 Great product September 2, 2009

Our HR Department was given the daunting task of updating our employee handbook, following an acquisition of another company. We purchased Policies Now to assist us, and it was well worth the cost of the product! Our guidebook was completely re-written from the start, published on our intranet and forwarded to all employees with the touch of a button. Updates will be equally as simple. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to have help with developing a guidebook or company policies. The only small drawback is that when you have the document placed on an intranet, employees have to return back to the table of contents in order to move through the document, as opposed to having a "Next" button at the bottom of each policy. That, however, is a slight inconvenience compared to the ease of creating and updating an entire manual.

Policies Now walks you through dozens of issues that need to be addressed in a employee manual. It gives you an explanation of the issue, factors that should be considered when deciding on a policy, gives you options on how to address the isue and lets you proof read and edit the policy. Its very easy to use.

This is a great and inexpensive program to use in order to create a fairly good and comprehensive handbook for a small to medium size company.

br /I used an older version years ago and the enhancements have been good. You can virtually create your handbook without any need for program training, etc. It's really fairly simple.

br /My only suggestion is for Knowledgepoint to create a Canadian version of this program.

Used this in the past, and may again in the near future. One caveat, though. Spring for an attorney to review it before use, so it doesn't come back and bite you.
