description: Use these PolicySmart features to start cleaning up your employee handbook.
---

Spring officially arrived this week, and that means it’s time for spring cleaning! In all the hustle and bustle of sprucing everything up and making updates, don’t forget that your employee handbook may also be in need of some attention. If you don’t currently have an employee handbook, there are [many reasons](https://blog.compliancehr.com/hubfs/External%20PDFs/White%20Papers/7+%20Reasons%20Why%20Every%20Business%20Should%20Have%20an%20Employee%20Handbook.pdf) to consider implementing one this season. Here are two PolicySmartTM features you can use to get your handbook cleanup underway.

PolicySmart News allows you to see a timeline of when new regulations are going into effect, and now is a good time to review what will be happening over the next few months. Don’t forget that you can add effective dates that are relevant to your jurisdiction and company to your calendar directly from PolicySmart. To do so, click on the news item, and then select the “Add to Calendar” option:

PolicySmart Documents has a filter option that allows you see which documents were updated recently. In the Filter Documents panel, click on “Updated Date” to see the most recent updates at the top of the list:

You can also use the Filter Documents panel to further narrow the list by selecting your jurisdiction and the type(s) of document you’d like to view.
