Generate a Compliant Employee Handbook in Minutes

DocBird generates a complete employee handbook with 30+ required policies, including:

• At-will employment disclaimer and legal notices
• State-specific compliance sections for CA, TX, NY, FL, IL, PA, OH, GA
• Wage and hour disclosures (FLSA exempt/non-exempt status)
• Anti-harassment and retaliation policies
• FMLA, paid sick leave, and other leave policies
• EEO statement and anti-discrimination notices
• Safety policies (OSHA), drug-free workplace, social media
• Statute citations and penalty schedules for each law

Each handbook is tailored to your company size, industry, and states of operation.

Most handbooks are generated in 3–7 minutes. Here's the process:

1. You answer a questionnaire about your company (3–5 minutes)
2. DocBird's AI generates your handbook with all policies and state requirements (1–2 minutes)
3. You download the Word and PDF files (ready to use or customize)

No waiting for attorney callbacks. No multi-week review cycles. Your handbook is ready when you need it.

Yes, absolutely. Your handbook is delivered as a fully editable Microsoft Word document and PDF. You can:

• Add company-specific policies and procedures
• Customize benefits, leave policies, and pay schedules
• Adjust formatting, colors, and branding
• Remove sections that don't apply to your company
• Save multiple versions (departments, locations, etc.)

The AI gives you a strong foundation; you make it yours. Generate as many versions as needed—no restrictions.

DocBird handbooks are built from attorney-reviewed templates and comply with federal and state employment laws as of 2026. Key compliance features include:

• FLSA wage and hour disclosures
• State-specific paid leave, wage, and non-discrimination laws
• FMLA, USERRA, and other federal notice requirements
• Statute citations with penalty amounts
• Industry-specific policies (if applicable)

However, we recommend having a local employment attorney review your final handbook, especially if you operate in multiple states or have specialized policies. See our disclaimer for full details.

DocBird covers all federal employment laws plus specific state requirements for:

• California (PAGA, SB 616, CCPA, CFRA)
• Texas (at-will doctrine, workers' compensation)
• New York (Paid Family Leave, HERO Act)
• Florida (annual minimum wage, drug testing)
• Illinois (BIPA biometrics, paid leave laws)
• Pennsylvania (PTO-as-wages doctrine)
• Ohio (monopolistic BWC, whistleblower protections)
• Georgia (E-Verify, non-compete laws)

If you operate in other states, the handbook includes federal baselines. We recommend adding state-specific legal review for less-covered states.

Not without customization. Each state has different wage, leave, discrimination, and safety laws. For example:

• California requires PAGA wage disclosure and 40 hrs paid sick leave (SB 616)
• Texas has no state-mandated paid sick leave
• Illinois requires paid leave for any reason; Florida doesn't
• New York requires annual harassment training; Georgia doesn't

DocBird's solution: Tell us which states you operate in. We generate a unified handbook with a main body (federal + common policies) plus state-specific appendices for each jurisdiction. You can then print or email different versions to employees in different states.

$49 one-time for a single handbook, or $29/mo for unlimited handbooks with auto-updates, SMS delivery, and compliance alerts. Less than an hour of attorney time.

• Starter ($49 one-time): generate and download your handbook immediately
• Pro ($29/mo): unlimited handbooks, SMS delivery to employees, auto-updates
• Both plans include state-specific compliance and all required policies

Both plans include unlimited handbook generation and state coverage. The difference is billing:

• $49 one-time: Pay once, keep access forever (unless you cancel). Best for small companies that generate once or twice.
• $29/month: Ongoing subscription. Best for HR teams, consultants, or companies that update handbooks regularly (annual compliance reviews, new hires, policy changes).

With either plan, you can regenerate your handbook as many times as needed. Choose the one that fits your workflow.
