What is an employee handbook?

An employee handbook is a document that stipulates all company rules, regulations, and operations, as well as obligations and expectations of employees. It can be an effective method to communicate the company’s organization philosophy to all levels of the organization, and can also be used by managers as a handy point of reference, providing key policy information. It can also help toprotect the company against labor disputes that may arise, because it expands on the information provided in the labor contract.
