Do Small Businesses Need Employee Handbooks?

It is a good idea for all businesses that have employees to put together at least a simple employee handbook that outlines companies policies and addresses any state employment laws.

Taking a little time to put together an employee handbook can save a business from expensive legal situations down the road.

Some areas you may want to include in an employee handbook, would include:

  • Any business policies you may have.
