5 THE PURPOSE OF AN EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK An employee, in starting work, accepts the terms of employment offered. An employer, in engaging a worker, accepts that the employee is sufficiently qualified to fill the vacant post, possibly after a period of training or probation. This voluntary agreement between the two parties implies certain rights and obligations. These should be clearly defined in writing, preferably in a handbook, and issued to each employee. The value of issuing a handbook to each employee is that every employee has a written statement of his rights and obligations. The handbook can, conveniently, include information about the firm or organization to help create a spirit of understanding and to sustain confidence that the employer is interested in the wellbeing of his employees. If individual employees are left in no doubt about their rights and obligations, areas of possible conflict are reduced and the risks of disputes are minimized. Employees, aware of all the benefits provided for them, are more likely to regard themselves part of a sincere organization. As a consequence, these may result in better labour relations and greater productivity. GUIDE TO THE CONTENTS OF AN EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK The contents of the handbook will depend upon several considerations. Some of the most important are set out below: (a) the type of establishment, for example, factory, commercial organization, public utility, or service (b) the grades to which the handbook applies, for example, monthly rated staff or piece-rated factory hands (c) the scope of activity of the establishment, for example, a single factory or a large commercial organization covering various operations. Whatever considerations arise, it should be possible to include the following points in the handbook. With appropriate amendments, deletions, and additions, a suitable handbook can be devised to meet the needs of any organization. Part L Message This is not essential but a personal message from the owner, the directors, the managing director, or the general manager makes a good introduction both to those who are already employed and to new entrants.
6 Part II. A brief history of the company This is also not essential but a brief history of the company, including, where possible, photographs and an organizational chart, is useful. Part III. The company's personnel policy This is most important and should be given prominence at the beginning of the handbook. It provides the management with an opportunity not only to state clearly its personnel policy but also to emphasize the mutual responsibilities of management and employees. It should stress the necessity for working rules which, if respected, will lead to greater safety and improved efficiency of operations. It should state clearly the management's policy on training and promotion and include detailed information on the machinery in operation for dealing with grievances of staff. If the organization operates joint consultative arrangements or recognizes trade unions, the company policy and the procedures should be explained. Part IV. Conditions of employment This section should include the following items: subject terms of employment termination of employment wages or salaries information to be included Hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis Period of notice required to be given by either side on termination of employment under normal circumstances.

Before drafting begins, an outline of the subjects to be included should be prepared and considered by a small committee of senior management personnel. Whoever is drafting the handbook should constantly keep in mind that the employees to whom the handbook will be issued may have some educational limitations. It should be in simple and clear language. When the draft is ready, it should be presented to a committee of senior management personnel for consideration. Throughout the period of preparation the Labour Relations Service of the Labour Department is available to give advice, if required. It is recommended that, before the draft is finalized for publication, a copy is sent to the Labour Relations Service which will advise if the handbook includes anything in breach of the provisions of any labour legislation.
13 When the draft is accepted by the appropriate representatives of the management, such as the board of directors, managing director, or general manager, it should be printed and bound, preferably with a hard cover. The booklet should be dated. The language in which the booklet is printed will depend upon the individual establishment and the employees for whom it is designed. If it is necessary to print it in more than one language, it should be clearly stated which is the official version. The method to be used for dealing with any alleged discrepancies in language between the official and any other versions should also be clearly stated in the handbook. ISSUING THE HANDBOOK Before issuing the handbook to individual employees, copies should be given to all members of the management, including supervisors and foremen. It is a prudent precaution to arrange for a detailed explanation to be given to those members of management who were not actively engaged in the preparation of the booklet. If there is a joint consultative committee in operation, it should be kept informed of the preparation and contents of the booklet. When the booklet is ready for issue, the committee should be supplied with advance copies and the contents should be explained to its members. It is not possible to give a standard procedure to be followed when issuing the booklet to individual employees but it is recommended that an explanatory note should be given to each employee in addition to the booklet. The note should explain the purpose of issuing the booklet along with an assurance that nothing in it adversely affects the conditions of employment being enjoyed by them before its issue. THE HANDBOOK AND THE CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT Whether or not the handbook constitutes a contract of employment will depend upon its contents. Nevertheless, it should include as far as possible all matters relating generally to the conditions of employment. In all cases, the handbook should include a form of acknowledgement for completion by the employee and return to management. This form should include a statement to the effect that the employee has received and read the handbook and accepts the conditions set out in it.
