Wonder What an Employee Handbook Should Offer?

Looking for ideas about the content of a comprehensive employee handbook? Here’s a list of the policies, procedures, and professional behavioral expectations found in many employee handbooks. This sample employee handbook table of contents also covers pay, benefits, performance expectations and legal issues.

Please do pick and choose for your own employee handbook and I'll work to continue to develop the content back-up and samples. When additional resources are available on the site about a particular employee handbook item, I have linked additional articles, policies, checklists, and forms.

Take a look at my new article; it’s not an actual employee handbook, but it does identify what ought to be in an employee handbook. I had been using this employee handbook outline as my own guide to determine what policies and articles to write for the site. But, I think you’ll benefit from it, too. Not every organization will need all of these components because every organization is different, but every organization needs some of them.
