HR Chat: Expansion Struggles

We are a growing business based in Nevada. All employees have worked at our office in Nevada, until now. We just hired a new employee who will work remotely from Chicago, IL. Our employee handbook covers Federal and Nevada laws. We are unsure of the best way to proceed.

Do we have the new employee follow our existing employee handbook drafted for Nevada laws, or are we required to follow the local Chicago and Illinois labor laws and create an additional state supplement?

Business growth is great but comes with a great deal of unknowns. Having the myHRcounsel Team on-demand makes your life a lot easier. Businesses with the ASK HR subscription can consult with myHRcounsel employment attorneys any time to discuss issues that may arise – such as remote employees.
