The Facts

  1. What is a staff handbook

    A Staff Handbook allows an employer to communicate all its policies, practices and procedures in one place. 

    It gives a clear vision of what is expected from both parties, without having to include all that detail in the employment contract. 

  2. When must I give it

    It is good practice to give an employee their staff handbook when they begin their employment. 

    EEA members can download an 'Acknowledgement of Receipt Letter' template for their employees to sign once they have read, and understood the staff handbook. 

  3. Can I write it myself

    You can, but we wouldn't advise it. 

    Reviewed by our EEA Legal Team, the Staff Handbook Creator will give you the peace of mind that you are complying with the law. 

    Under the Employment Rights Act 1996 employers are required to provided in writing details of their disciplinary and grievance procedures within the Contract of Employment or the Staff Handbook.

The Staff Handbook is brilliant. Everything that needs to be there is there. It saved me so much time and I had a comprehensive document created - easy.
