The employee handbook outlines policies and procedures employees are expected to follow. It is distributed to staff members upon hiring to start the onboarding process.
The handbook contains an abbreviated version of the manual with a focus on workplace policies, procedures, and rules such as attendance, disciplinary practices, leave policies and related employee benefits. It also includes forms that provide appropriate documentation and acknowledgements.
Along with the manual, an employee handbook helps to ensure compliance with legal requirements to avoid employee lawsuits or, at a minimum, reduce the risks associated with them, the defense of which can be costly and disruptive to any workplace.
