Wilson \u00b7 Published October 22, 2026<\/p>\n\n<article lang=\"en\">\n\n\n<p>An employee handbook review is a legal check of your written workplace policies. It compares each policy with Florida and federal employment rules and with how your business actually runs. An employee handbook review attorney Miami-Dade employers can call closes gaps before an employee complaint or agency charge forces the issue. KEW Legal practices from Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach. The first step is a free first consultation, confidential, with no obligation to continue.<\/p>\n<h2>What an Employee Handbook Review Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n<p>A handbook review is legal work, not a formatting job. A lawyer reads each policy and asks two questions. Is it lawful? Does it match what managers actually do?<\/p>\n<p>This service fits owners and managers of companies with employees across Miami-Dade and South Florida. It fits best in three situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The business adopted a template handbook from the internet or from another company.<\/li>\n<li>The company grew past its first policies, with new locations, remote staff, or new pay structures.<\/li>\n<li>The owner has never had written policies reviewed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Timing matters. A handbook is often one of the first documents requested when a claim starts. Gaps are easier to fix before anyone files anything. KEW Legal treats the review as part of its outside general counsel work for owners and investors, so the handbook is read alongside your contracts, leases, and ownership documents.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-contrast-color has-surface-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--surface,#f2f3f5);color:var(--wp--preset--color--contrast,#22252b);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your handbook was copied from a template or hasn&#x27;t been reread since your company grew, we can review it with you in a free, confidential first consultation.

Each area gets a close read.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>At-will and status language.<\/strong> The review checks how the handbook describes at-will employment and whether it could read as a contract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anti-discrimination and harassment policies.<\/strong> Florida law makes it unlawful to discriminate in the terms and conditions of employment based on protected traits, such as race, sex, age, and handicap (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0760\/Sections\/0760.10.html\">Florida Civil Rights Act<\/a>). The review checks the complaint process, reporting channels, and investigation steps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wage and hour rules.<\/strong> Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0400-0499\/0448\/Sections\/0448.01.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 448.01<\/a>, for a person employed to perform manual labor, ten hours is a legal day&#8217;s work unless a written contract signed by both the employee and the employer requires a less or greater number of hours. Without that contract, a person employed to perform manual labor is entitled to extra pay for all work the employer requires beyond 10 hours in a day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leave policies.<\/strong> An employer who employs 50 or more employees shall permit an employee who has been employed by the employer for 3 or more months to request and take up to 3 working days of leave from work in any 12-month period if the employee or a family or household member of an employee is the victim of domestic violence or sexual violence, under the conditions in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0741\/Sections\/0741.313.html\">Florida domestic violence leave law<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confidentiality and restrictive covenants.<\/strong> A Florida court will not enforce a restrictive covenant unless it is in a writing signed by the person it binds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0542\/Sections\/0542.335.html\">Fla.

A complaint procedure that no manager follows can be harder to defend than no written procedure at all. Other gaps are simpler but still costly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Outdated language that names job titles, benefit plans, or locations the company no longer uses.<\/li>\n<li>Conflicting rules, such as an attendance rule in one section and a pay-deduction rule in another.<\/li>\n<li>Statements that the company may change policies at any time, which must be reconciled with at-will status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Handbook language also affects contract questions. Many template handbooks never address this point.<\/p>\n<p>Reporting procedures need care too. Florida&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0400-0499\/0448\/Sections\/0448.102.html\">whistle-blower statute<\/a> protects employees who object to a practice that violates a law.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Review Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>The review moves through six steps, from a first call to a rolled-out handbook.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free first consultation.<\/strong> We discuss your business, your workforce, your current handbook, and why you want a review now. The consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation to continue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document collection.<\/strong> You send the current handbook, any separate written policies, offer letter and acknowledgment templates, and a short description of daily operations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legal review.<\/strong> Each policy is compared with applicable Florida and federal rules and checked for gaps, conflicts, and unclear wording.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Written findings.<\/strong> You receive each issue in plain language, ranked by priority.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revision.<\/strong> For the policies you choose to update, KEW Legal drafts replacement language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Final version and rollout.<\/strong> We help with the final text, a revision date, and an acknowledgment process so employees receive the updated handbook.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The timeline depends on the facts, including the handbook&#8217;s length, the number of policies, and how many rounds of revision you request.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Employer Receives<\/h2>\n<p>You receive a written record of the review and a usable final handbook.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A written summary of findings, organized by policy area and priority.<\/li>\n<li>Proposed revised language for each section you choose to update, with the reason for each change.<\/li>\n<li>A clean final handbook with a revision date and version number.<\/li>\n<li>Updated acknowledgment forms and simple rollout instructions for managers.<\/li>\n<li>Guidance on when to review again, such as after a change in the law, a new location, or a new pay structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Employers Work With KEW Legal<\/h2>\n<p>KEW Legal is a Florida business law firm that acts as outside general counsel for business owners and investors. That model matters for handbook work. Your handbook sits alongside your vendor agreements, leases, and ownership documents. The review looks at those connections instead of treating the handbook as a standalone file.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Findings are written for owners and managers, not only for lawyers.<\/li>\n<li>The firm serves businesses across Miami-Dade and South Florida from its Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kristina E.
