Forming a medium for communication between the employer and the employee, an employee handbook presents the expectations set forth by the employer. It gives them crucial insight on what the company expects out of them. It also presents legal obligations and the rights of the employee. In short, it is an essential collateral to be given to be employee upon joining.
What does an employee handbook comprise of?
1. NDA: Employee handbooks usually consist of the NDA or the non-disclosure agreements on confidentiality and protection of information shared with the employee by the employer. Though it is not legal, it is wise to share such details.
2. Work schedules: New employees can find out about the work schedules followed by the company through the handbook. It gives out details on absences, leaves, and also, the flexibility to change shifts if required.
3. Compensation: Yes, this is one important section that every new employee never misses to read. It gives details on what the compensation structure is, the benefits and incentive programs offered, salary revision, bonuses, etc. It is supported by relevant labour law.
4. General Information: At the end, but not the least, the employee handbook gives out details on what the business is about, rules of employment policies, referral programs, database, leaves, resignation, relocation, transfer, probation, termination and also, job postings.
