48## Best Practices
49 
50### Do's
51 
52- **Consult legal counsel** - Employment law varies by jurisdiction
53- **Keep copies signed** - Document all agreements
54- **Update regularly** - Laws and policies change
55- **Be clear and specific** - Avoid ambiguity
56- **Train managers** - On policies and procedures
57 
58### Don'ts
59 
60- **Don't use generic templates** - Customize for your jurisdiction
61- **Don't make promises** - That could create implied contracts
62- **Don't discriminate** - In language or application
63- **Don't forget at-will language** - Where applicable
64- **Don't skip review** - Have legal counsel review all documents
