Purpose of our employee handbook

The handbook is a combination of federal and state employment policies along with company-specific guidelines and expectations. In short, our handbook is intended to provide clarity to staff what our company expects of you and what staff can expect from our company. Staff members are required to sign an acknowledgement to confirm that they have received and reviewed the handbook and understand the policies.
What is our Employee Handbook?
Our handbook is a collection of documents, HR policies, procedures and guidelines that explain how our workplace functions for staff members.
