Employee handbooks inform employees about company policies, procedures, and practices, and can communicate standards of performance and conduct. In some cases, they are a new employee’s first inside impression of a company. If well-constructed, it can start the employment relationship off on the right foot and can also serve as an important tool to avoid employee lawsuits. Although state and federal laws sometimes require that policies and procedures be posted on bulletin boards or other public places, distributing a handbook to all employees ensures that the company’s critical standards are accessible to all, and that each employee will have a handy reference when questions arise. The enclosed document provides an acknowledgment of an employee’s review and understanding of the handbook he or she received. This can serve to prevent future disagreements and misunderstandings, and can build the framework for a long-lasting employment relationship.
