Friends of the High Line is seeking assistance reviewing their fully drafted employee handbook to ensure no major red flags or exclusions are present. While it is 102 pages, many of the pages include graphics and/or are not full pages. The handbook was last reviewed in 2019, and members of the HR team have recently updated it to reflect the organization’s current operations, organizational structure, and employee policies. They are seeking a final review by employment counsel to strengthen compliance and reduce operational risk.

The vast majority of employees reside in NY. A small handful commute in from NJ and CT. Ideally, the attorney would be able to speak to all three jurisdictions. But NY is the priority. Friends of the High Line does have a general counsel who can support as they are able. However, they do not have employment law expertise.
