Employee Handbook

“Only the guy who isn’t rowing has time to rock the boat.” -Jean-Paul  Sartre

As a business owner you have expectations of your employees and employees have questions about the company’s policies.  An employee handbook is the place to share this information.  It should be a guide for employee actions in the workplace and include company policies, procedures, working conditions and behavioral expectations.  This is where you can include information about the company, employee compensation and benefits, and additional terms or conditions of employment.

The handbook can protect your business from lawsuits, such as harassment or discrimination claims by communicating what your company code of conduct is in relationship to these areas of the law.  Most states allow for at-will employment and a statement in your handbook reinforces this as your policy and allows you to be less regulated in your termination process.

To your employees a handbook is a form of communication, a place to go to see what is expected of them.  It also is a place for your supervisors to find the consistent process to follow when the same situation arises.
