Littler X-celerator Toolkits
The Littler X-celerator® Toolkit provides employers with resources to help remain compliant with state and federal laws when hiring employees and maintaining their workforce.
When an entrepreneur turns an idea into a viable business, a major step in starting or growing that business is building its workforce. Littler X-celerator Toolkit draws upon the vast experience of our lawyers who have helped companies of all sizes with the legal aspects of hiring and managing employees. We have distilled that knowledge and experience and packaged it into a suite of documents that includes key employment templates for both small and growing businesses and guidance on how to effectively use those documents. Each state-specific toolkit covers the full lifecycle of an employee, including onboarding, maintaining the employee relationship, and termination.
