Are Employee Manuals Really Necessary?

Some companies have employee manuals that are like reading a novel and others have employee manuals that are lacking in many ways and still others don't even have an employee manual at all.  Working with a poorly written manual or without a manual in place is not good management.  You run the risk of employee complaints or even lawsuits.

Employee Manuals spell out what you expect from your employees and what your employees can expect from you.  You should have any changes to your Employee Manual reviewed carefully by management or by your company attorney to be sure you are not placing yourself in a position to be sued.  

Employee Manuals should cover dress codes, evaluation procedures, workplace violence, paid holidays, vacation and sick time, and other items that are necessary in your business.    If you need help putting together your Employee Manual, you can contact our company for assistance.  We can come out to your company, if you are in the Greater Phoenix Area, and help you with yours.
