Possessing an Employee Manual is crucial to organizations. A well-written Employee Manual incorporates the mission of the company, ensures that employees are informed of their responsibilities, outlines benefits, as well as states the penalties for misconduct and/or poor performance. The manual should explain the companys’ “at-will” policy, in detail, which helps to protect the company assets. Clearly described duties, responsibilities, and benefits helps reduce employer time, prevents disagreements, improves employee morale, and assists in avoiding costly lawsuits.
The employee manual should cover several basic items (at a minimum):
• Mission/Vision Statement
• Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
• Hiring Process
• Employee Orientation
• Work Schedules and Rules
• Performance Expectations
• Evaluations
• Pay Schedule
• Benefits (if applicable)
o Vacation
o Sick and Accident
o Health Insurance
• Sexual Harassment
• Confidentiality
• Dress Code
• Drugs and Alcohol
• Termination
