Unless the text in the employee handbook meets 30.06 requirements, no, it is not 'notice'.mikeintexas wrote:Most companies require a signature when you recieve your employee handbook that states by signing, you have read and understand the company policies in this handbook and will follow them.

It has been discussed adnauseum, but my employer prohibits firearms on their property in the employee handbook. However, there are no signs at all prohibiting non-employees anywhere. Obviously, if caught I could and probably would be terminated. I honestly don't remember ever being "told" this policy. I've only read it in the handbook. Anyway, if I decided to carry at work or even leave it in my car and were discovered I think it has been noted that because I was not given proper notice I could not be prosecuted for anything. Now, if the proper wording were in the employee handbook in english and spanish in a standard 12 font that appears to be sufficient notice that i could be prosecuted for.
Right?
As I understand, that qualifies as notice.
Anyone else have thoughts? I'd love to be proven wrong on this.
Can you be fired over it? Absolutely.
Can you be arrested over it? No.
