Handbook of Sample Personnel Policies and Procedures with Sample Employee Handbook (and Diskette)

A well-written Employee Handbook reduces the number of unknowns for your employees by distilling the relevant portions of the Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual for them. This will not only reduce your organization's exposure to Employment-At-Will, Wrongful Discharge
and other employee lawsuits it also neutralizes the union organizer's promise to make management "put it in writing." In addition, providing each employee with an Employee Handbook shows employees that management cares about them as individuals and believes that they are an important part of the organization. Included in Whiting & Associates' Handbook of Sample Personnel Policies and Procedures is a Sample Employee handbook which you can use to develop your company's own Employee Handbook. After you have completed your rough draft of the Employee Handbook, Whiting & Associates, Inc. would be more than happy to review your proposed Employee Handbook.
