The importance of employee handbooks

The employee handbook is a vehicle for familiarizing employees with basic company policies and benefit programs. It also helps companies communicate expectations and ground rules to employees, including acceptable and unacceptable behavior and disciplinary measures. When properly crafted, a handbook can better protect organizations from employment-related discrimination charges and complaints.

If any of the following pertains to your organization, you might be in need of an employee handbook or a handbook update:

• You do not have an employee handbook
• You have created your own handbook by merging your company-specific information with another company’s handbook, or who had someone write it who had no knowledge of employment law.
• Have not updated your handbook in two or more years
• Start- up companies

Express Employment Professionals creates handbooks with the experience of a team of Human Resource Professionals. All of their HR specialists are certified through the Human Resources Certification Institute and support franchisees and clients all over the U.S. and Canada with their HR needs.
