Just Published and Available Today!
Atlantic Publishing Company spent over two years compiling this excellent new resource every business with employees needs to have. Design Your Own Effective Employee Handbook is a must-have for any business!
If you have employees, you need employment policies in writing distributed to every employee. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that businesses can protect themselves against damages and liability against employee lawsuits by providing clear, written policies covering the rights and responsibilities of their employees.Written policies provide the principles and basis for a business to manage its employees. The employee handbook helps employees and managers become aware of what is expected and can prevent misunderstandings. A handbook will also assist with employment law compliance. A written employee handbook gives everyone, including management, the same set of rules to follow.
The employee handbook template included on the CD-ROM is the ideal solution to produce your own handbook. The CD-ROM contains the template in MS word which you can easily edit for your own purposes. The book discusses various options you may have in developing the different policies. Developing your own handbook now could not be easier or less expensive.

This is a thorough and well-written book that would work well for the small to midsize business with a small or no HR department. It’s loaded with sample forms and tips on creating a personnel handbook and step-by-step instructions on formatting, printing and updating it. There is a virtual plethora of pre-worded phrases, paragraphs, policies, letters, etc., as well as, possible reasons for including or eliminating certain portions.
The author even included a few sample personnel handbooks in their entirety. One merely needs to substitute one’s own business info, as well as state and local specifics to make it your own customized handbook. The author also recommended you consult with an attorney regarding legal specifics and ramifications. Overall, it’s like having a mini HR department you can “file away” in your bookcase at the end of the day.
