Employment Manual

An employment manual or an employee handbook serves as a guide for the employees regarding the rules and policies that are implemented in the company. This also acts as a protection for the employers in cases of labor disputes and other employment problems such as legal case suits due to job terminations.

Usually, this manual aids in attesting the employment provisions and conditions if ever the company has not offered any employment agreement to their workers. To add, since an employment manual is considered as a legal document, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a qualified corporate attorney in drafting such handbooks to have the assurance of complying with the associated federal and state corporate law provisions.

A well-outlined employee handbook should contain all the company provisions concerning employment. These policies should include the company administration’s ruling on worker’s compensation, employment opportunities and manner of imposing disciplinary sanctions. A standard employment manual may also include the following stipulations:

• The employer can make adjustments and improvements to this manual at any time and for any cause


• An employment at-will statement and Equal Opportunity Employment statement and regulations


• Policies on sexual harassment in the workplace


• Compliance with the Immigration Law


• Principles of conduct


• Job arrangements which conforms with the Fair Labor Standards Action and other related state laws


• Periods of wages


• Working hours


• Provisions on sick, vacation and family leaves


• Benefits such as health and insurance


• Worker’s compensation


• Proper dress code


• Policies as regards to the use of hardware and software


• Rules on resolving employment disputes and implementing disciplinary actions


• Severance policies for job abandonment and termination
