If you have employees, you probably NEED an employee handbook. 

It is considered a best practice to have one as it can be a powerful tool in communicating your policies and procedures to your employees and in protecting yourself from misunderstandings that can lead to litigation.

An employee handbook is an important document that outlines the policies, procedures, and expectations that employees should follow while working for a company.

Here are some reasons to have an employee handbook:

1. Clarity: An employee handbook provides clarity on the company’s policies and procedures, which helps to avoid confusion and misunderstandings.

2. Consistency: An employee handbook ensures that company rules and policies are applied consistently across all employees, which helps to avoid potential discrimination or favoritism.

3. Legal Compliance: An employee handbook can help ensure that the company is in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, such as anti-discrimination laws, wage and hour laws, and health and safety regulations.

4. Communication: An employee handbook provides a means for the company to communicate its values and expectations to employees.

5. Orientation: An employee handbook can be used as a reference tool for new employees during the onboarding process, helping them to understand the company’s policies and procedures from the outset.

6. Employee Accountability: An employee handbook sets expectations for employee behavior and conduct, which can help to promote accountability and a positive work culture.

Overall, an employee handbook is an essential tool for any company, as it helps to promote consistency, clarity, and legal compliance, while also communicating the company’s values and expectations to employees.
