If you are a Rancho Mesa client who has utilized the Living Handbook builder within the RM365 HRAdvantage™ portal, you may have noticed email notifications alerting you of the latest legislation policy changes. When a new government policy goes into effect or an existing policy needs to be revised, the HR portal will give you the option to update your handbook(s).

The RM365 HRAdvantage™ portal has recently added two new policies to its Living Handbook builder. Thesetemporary policies apply to private employers with fewer than 500 employees and are effective from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The policies are:

• Emergency Paid Sick Leave Policy (COVID-19)

• Expanded Family and Medical Leave Policy (COVID-19)

To ensure that your handbook stays up-to-date, login to the RM365 HRAdvantage™ portal and accept these policies. They  will then be automatically added to your handbook. If you are not receiving the automated notifications, check the “Subscribe to email alerts for this handbook” box on the ‘Handbook Settings’ screen.

If you are working with an outdated employee handbook and want to quickly build a new compliant Living Handbook, learn more by watching our Living Handbook tutorial.
