Why It’s Time to Review or Develop Your Company’s Employee Handbook
If you have more than two employees, you should have an employee handbook that clearly explains your employment policies. The advantages of having an employee handbook are that:
It is of practical help in running your business.
It eliminates or reduces disputes over what are your policies, procedures, rules, requirements, benefits, etc.
All employees are uniformly informed about the rules and procedures and know who to turn to if they have any questions about their job.
May reduce anxiety employees feel about their jobs
It provides a measure of legal protection.
Challenges by an employee in a court or administrative procedure are better defended against when you have clear, reasonable policies.
It is an objective piece of evidence that shows you’ve adopted fair and uniform policies and that you’ve informed your employees of where they stand
It provides procedures for employees to inform you when they feel they have been unfairly treated or have a workplace problem
It gives you an opportunity to react before a small misunderstanding erupts into a full-blown legal dispute
