Reading the company handbook
['Employee Relations']
- It is important that employees read the company handbook or collection of policies.
There are several ways to get employees to read the company handbook, such as:
- Giving a quiz or test that incorporates various parts of the handbook, and
- Having employees sign and return a statement that they agree to read the handbook.
Avoid having employees sign a statement that says they “have read” the handbook if they have not done so. If there is a later dispute, a statement that says they “agree to read” the handbook more accurately reflects the situation and places responsibility on the employee.
