Employee Handbooks

FRUSTRATED WITH POOR COMMUNICATION OF WORK RULES AND REGULATIONS?

Employee handbooks typically provide a general explanation of policies and are written in casual language that is understandable to employees with a wide range of education and training. The benefits of having an employee handbook are many: Every employee receives the same information about the rules of the workplace; your employees will know what you expect from them (and what they can expect from you); and you'll buy yourself valuable legal protection if an employee later challenges you in court.

However, an employee handbook does more than protect your company from legal liability. A clear and concise handbook defines standards for workplace conduct and describes employee benefits, company policies, and state and federal laws. I can write a fully customized employee handbook that would typically cost thousands of dollars and require weeks of valuable company time to complete.

The advantages of documenting your policies include:

• Provides a useful resource for new employee orientation
• Provides an informational and educational resource for supervisors and managers
• Promotes open communication and eliminates confusion as well as helps everyone understand the organization's position on various everyday issues
• Promotes fairness and consistency in treatment
• Establishes legal protection
