Employee Handbook
An employee handbook guides employees on their employer's policies
and procedures concerning the important aspects of employment.
Employers of all sizes need a thorough and state-specific employee
handbook to ensure compliance with state and federal employment law.

Employee handbooks contain various employment policies regarding
payroll, benefits, harassment, discrimination, dress code, meal,
employee’s breaks, time off, and other helpful information.
