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.

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.

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.

Overall, Policies Now is a straightforward, easy-to-use program that saves employers precious time and money. --Kendra Hayden

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and fast., June 13, 2003

By	Kathleen J. Bracken (Latham, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this software to create a handbook for the company where I am employed. I'm always pressed for time, and Policies Now was simple and quick. I created an entire handbook in no time. I receive email updates on changing HR laws from Knowlegde Point, which is helpful.

The software also allows you to create your own inclusions that apply specifically to your own business. The user can create the handbook as HTML, text, or a Word document, which is great.

Overall, I was very satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Over 100 policies written in 2 hours, April 9, 2003

By	David Russell (Novato, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wrote an entire company policy manual in less than 2 hours. It is about 100 policies and is very professional. This is a super product. I wish we knew about it at my former company.

4.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor, January 18, 2006

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.
