A staff handbook brings together your company’s policies, procedures and practices in one clear document. It helps both your business and your employees understand their rights, responsibilities and what to expect from each other. Do I need a staff handbook? While not a legal requirement, it is best practice. A well-crafted staff handbook is valuable for protecting your business and supporting your team. Handbooks can be contractual or non-contractual, and it could be the case that some of the information contained in the handbook is a legal requirement, for example information relating to remuneration, holiday and working hours.
