Is it crucial for your company to develop an employee handbook or drafting a staff handbook?<\/p>\n<p>An employee handbook surely can provide a snapshot of your company\u2019s philosophy and working rules. Employee handbooks allow employers to get things off on the right foot with new employees. A staff handbook also protects the employer\u2019s rights by providing employees with their employment guidelines in an easy-to-understand form. It will also serve as an invaluable reference tool for your employees.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, drafting employee handbook policies also ensures the consistency in your employee relationships and explains the policies that make your company unique. By properly setting expectations for workplace behaviours, work habits and performance, companies may help to eliminate employee relations issues with a well written and legally compliant employee handbook.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31201 size-full\" title=\"Develop Your Company\u2019s Employee Handbook\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/photo-develop-your-company-employee-handbook-1-820x250.jpg\" alt=\"Develop Your Company\u2019s Employee Handbook\" width=\"820\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/photo-develop-your-company-employee-handbook-1-820x250.jpg 820w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/photo-develop-your-company-employee-handbook-1-820x250-300x91.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/photo-develop-your-company-employee-handbook-1-820x250-768x234.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What should be included in the employee handbook?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employment-at-Will Statements<\/li>\n<li>Equal employment opportunity statements<\/li>\n<li>Immigration law compliance<\/li>\n<li>Non-disclosure statements<\/li>\n<li>Definition of employment categories<\/li>\n<li>Standards of conduct and disciplinary action procedures<\/li>\n<li>Employee benefit options<\/li>\n<li>Employee leave options<\/li>\n<li>Work condition policies<\/li>\n<li>Social media, computer and email usage<\/li>\n<li>An acknowledgement form<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A well-developed employee handbook comprises virtually the entire range of legal issues arising in the workplace.
