EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK

a booklet or compilation of information from management to the employee that familiarizes the employee with his employer and the employment environment. Such handbooks vary widely in size and make-up from place to place but usually contain a statement of the goals, purposes, policies and products of the employing organization or business. There is often data about conditions of employment, what is expected of the employee (schedule, appearance, manners, etc.) and how employees may establish a relationship with the employer or organization conducive to their continued employment. Depending on the range of products made or services rendered there will be some coverage (general or specific) of how to do the job.
