All organizations need to have a document that is as important and prized as the offer letter it rolls out to its employees. It is the employee handbook. Variously described as a staff handbook, staff manual or employee manual; the employee handbook is a booklet that contains essential information about the organization’s policies, rules and procedures. It is handed to the employee, usually at the time of joining the organization.
The employee handbook is in a sense sacrosanct, because it spells out the rules and procedures for a number of activities from the employee. It is a document that states the exact requirements and expectations relating to employee behavior from the organization. The employee handbook is also an important legal document, as it serves as an important reference during legal proceedings that may come up between the employee and the employer.
