Why your company needs an Employee Handbook

Have you ever noticed that all large companies have an employee handbook? Ever wonder why?

Very simply, to define company policy and protect from legal exposure.

Not only will employee's have a better understanding of what the company expects of them but a written written handbook can save any company tens of thousands of dollars in legal costs.

If you end up being sued by a currrent or former employee, one of the first things you will need to prove is that you communicated the policy in question to the employee. Just because you say "you told them" does not prove anything. A legally sound handbook can save you and your company a lot to time, money and frustration.

Most disagreements with employees end up being handled without escalating to a lawsuit but, it takes only one disgruntled exployee or former employee to file an unfair lawsuit against you.

With the relatively low cost of hiring someone to create an employee handbook for you, no company can do without one.
