\nTo the degree employers avoid making common mistakes at the time of hire\, they will eliminate many of the most common grounds for subsequent lawsuits.
\n \;
\nThis is because if the hiring process is properly conducted\, employees will be bound by numerous employment policies that will provide potent legal protection from lawsuits resulting from later workplace disputes or in the event that employees are eventually fired.
\n \;
\nForemost among these are the employment application\, mandatory arbitration policy and employee handbook\, among several others. \;
\n \;
\nHowever\, such documents will provide legal protection only to the degree that they are properly drafted\, and are updated as needed. It is of critical importance that all employer generated documents are scrupulously consistent with each other.
