Employee Handbook vs. Procedure Manual

6/6/2012| Reference Number : 13.0| Human Resources | Handbook, Procedure manual | | Return|

The Employee Handbook and Procedure Manual serve two distinct purposes.

The employee handbook is an important opportunity to ensure employees understand the company’s expectations and where to find general information. It is essential for the employer to put things in writing to add clarity and unity of purpose to the company mission and philosophy.

An employee handbook has relevance to every employee of the company regardless of position, title or job duties.
