Employee Handbook

A handbook is given to employees by an employer. Employee handbooks are a useful resource for employees as they provide information about the company’s policies, workplace culture, code of conduct, procedures and basic explanations of employment law.

Employee handbooks are not required by law. But they are popular among employers because they help to clarify the expectations of the employee and reduce the risk of misunderstandings. An employee handbook is also a great way to introduce new employees to the way things are done in the workplace.
