Things to Include in an Employee Handbook (not exhaustive!)


An employee handbook can be a very helpful tool to keep everyone "on the same page" in your organization.

You may decide to have different notebooks for particular reasons, such as policies, procedures, style guide, etc. Assign a staff person to keep these up to date. It is also wise, particularly for employee policies, to have an HR specialist or lawyer review your book to make sure it complies with laws in your state.

job descriptions
phone list
company policies (this may be a separate notebook such as "Employee Guidelines.")
instructions on how to operate machinery
hours of operation
history of the company
computer policies
style guides

What other items would you find helpful in an employee handbook?
