Have an Employee Handbook? - You need one!

What to expect.

The benefits of having an employee handbook are many. Employee handbooks are the perfect place to outline all of your company policies as well as benefits. This lets employees know what to expect from your company and what you expect from them. Policies covering anything from dress code to social media use can be discussed amongst management and documented in writing; that way when issues do pop up you won’t have to skip a beat.

Your handbook should clearly state that it is not a contract with employees.  Instead, it should outline your employment relationship while it exists in its at-will nature.

Although having employees sign off that they have read or will read their employee handbook is a smart move, the publication generally serves as a reference point when questions arise, so don’t worry whether your handbook is one page or a whole binder.
