An Employee Handbook is a comprehensive document that employers can provide
to staff to communicate a company’s mission statement and policies and procedures,
clarifying the rights and responsibilities of staff while they are employed with the
company. It is also a useful reference source for employers and managers when
handling an employee HR issue.

The Employee Handbook Template contains over 60 sections covering the main
terms and conditions, leave and benefit entitlements, and policies and procedures
applicable for most employments, prepared in compliance with employment law and
relevant Codes of Practice.
___________________________________________________________________
Employee Handbooks are available from Horizon HR in three options: as a template
document, customised document or bespoke document.
