Identify potentially problematic handbook policies
Upload your employee handbook for a free, instant analysis of potentially problematic policies — based on NLRA standards and case law.
Know your rights
Under the National Labor Relations Act, most private-sector workers have legally protected rights — and many employer handbook policies may restrict them.
In August 2023, the NLRB's landmark Stericycle decision changed the legal standard. Now, any workplace rule with a "reasonable tendency" to chill employees from exercising their rights is unlawful — even if the employer didn't intend it.
This means many handbooks written before 2023 likely contain policies that may now be challenged under the new standard.
Protected activities include
Discussing wages and working conditions
With coworkers, in person or online
Organizing or supporting a union
Including distributing materials and soliciting support
Taking group action for better conditions
Strikes, walkouts, petitions, and other concerted activity
Filing unfair labor practice charges
With the NLRB, without fear of retaliation
