See what your state requires — free
Pick your state and headcount and get an instant compliance checklist: which written policies are legally required at your size, which are best practice, and which posters you must display — every row cited. No email, no payment.
Handbookly is an automated document-preparation tool — not a law firm, not legal advice. For advice about your specific situation, consult an employment attorney licensed in your state.

2. Answer a few questions
Company name, work model, pay structure. Then pay $249 — no subscription, no per-employee fee.
3. Hand it to your team
Your handbook arrives as a hosted page and a PDF: every required policy drafted for your company, the poster checklist, and the acknowledgment form employees sign.
A real pack for a 6-person Colorado company
Generated for “Northwind Labs”, a fictional 6-employee business in Colorado. First section: Paid sick leave policy (required, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-13.3-401 et seq. (Healthy Families and Workplaces Act)).
Northwind Labs Paid Sick Leave Policy This policy reflects a legal requirement for Northwind Labs under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-13.3-401 et seq., the Colorado Healthy Families and Workplaces Act. As an employer operating in Colorado, we are required to provide paid sick leave to all employees, and this policy explains how that leave accrues, carries over, and may be used.
Why it’s shaped this way
- Grounded in a verified dataset, not a model’s memory. Every requirement, threshold, citation, and poster comes from a hand-verified dataset covering 16 states — and the same facts are published free on our state guides, so you can verify before you pay. We only sell states we've verified.
- Required vs. best practice, always marked. If the law binds at 15 employees and you have 4, we say so — the policy is still drafted, but labeled best practice, with the threshold cited. No inflated requirements.
- Flat price, yours forever. $249 once — not $2,000+ for an attorney, and not a per-employee-per-month HR subscription you rent forever.
- Honest about what a document can do.A handbook doesn't make you compliant by itself — posting the notices and following the policies are on you. The pack tells you exactly what those obligations are.
