Employee Handbooks

Employee handbooks benefit all employees from the first day of employment through the last day of employment. They help bring new hires up to speed in no time and get things off on the right foot. They act as a useful communications tool between current employees and management. They also ensure your organization is compliant with federal, state, and local laws. By properly setting expectations for workplace behaviors, work habits, and performance, organizations may help eliminate employee relations issues with a well-written, customized, and legally compliant employee handbook.

Below, we have detailed some of the most important elements of an employee handbook. However, we don’t recommend that employers go it alone, as it may be quite complex to properly apply the necessary federal, state, and local laws to a particular organization and their employees. New Focus HR is here to help ensure organizations avoid costly mistakes, and make their employee handbook an invaluable tool!
