Download the information on this page in Word format here
The Employee Handbook contains examples of best practices in employee related policies and procedures. The Handbook has been developed to allow an employer, depending on the size of the business, to select those policies that are practical and comply with current legislative requirements to develop a personalize Employee Handbook. It is important these examples of policies and procedures are used as templates; and then customized to the unique conditions within each business.
Each of the policies and subsequent procedures has been written as a ‘stand alone’ document so that the user can customize the Handbook to match the needs of the company. Once you have downloaded the policies and procedures that are important for your business, the following will have to be added:
- Each of the policies should be given a number. The first policy in Part I: ‘The General Organizational Policies and Procedures’ would start with the Policy 1.0 and the first policy in Part II: ‘Human Resource Policies and Procedures would start with 2.0;
- Add a ‘footer’ with your company logo (if desired), date and page numbers. Once the pages are numbered the Table of Contents can be updated with the page numbers;
- When there is parenthesis { }, company specific information will need to be added.
