BOSTON – Credit unions need to develop personnel manuals more thoroughly and then pay more attention to them, a lawyer who defends businesses against employee lawsuits told NAFCU attendees. “I can’t tell you how many times I have had a client call to tell me an employee has been doing something they should not be doing, and the credit union hasn’t looked at the manual,” said Edward Isler, a partner at the law firm of Ray and Isler, located in Vienna, Virginia.
