Employee Handbook Outline

It is important for any new employee to become aware of "house rules" immediately upon being hired, and that all current, or old employees, are thoroughly exposed to its content and meaning by their supervisor as soon as practicable. The Employee Handbook is the most compelling method of communicating to a new employee, or to existing employees, the companys procedures, guidelines, directives and policies as they relate to personnel matters. It is a proven fact that when an employee knows the policies and procedures, has them in written form, and can constantly refer to his/her own copy of the policies for answers, an attitude of being less confused is apparent. Furthermore, supervisory and management personnel of the company will have to spend less time on enforcing company rules and will have an easier job doing it.
