Staff Handbook

Overview
An increasing number of companies issue their new staff with Staff Handbooks. A Staff Handbook will incorporate all the features of a Contract of Employment, but in addition it will also tell the employee much more about the company, including summary details of its personnel and employment policies and procedures.

Staff Handbooks are a very convenient way of telling new employees as much as practical about the structure and culture of an organisation, including details relating to such matters as union membership, and disciplinary rules and grievance procedures.

Because of the wide range of subjects that can be addressed in Staff Handbooks, they are a useful source of information for management and staff, as well as being an excellent induction tool.

Staff Handbooks are very important documents. They generally incorporate the employees Contract of Employment and much more besides, and obviously satisfy the legal obligations of the employer to issue the terms and conditions of employment specified in the Statement of Particulars.

Great care needs to be exercised when writing Staff Handbooks, so that policies and procedures that are non-contractual remain so. One approach to this problem is to split the Staff Handbook into distinct parts.

The Staff Handbook will be a crucial document in any dispute between the parties that reaches an Employment Tribunal.

How We Can Help You
We will draw up a Staff Handbook that incorporates all the essential terms and conditions relevant to the employee, and which will meet the employers legal duty to issue new staff with written details of their terms and conditions of employment.

We will ensure that non-contractual terms are not confused with those that are contractual.

The Staff Handbook will be carefully prepared in consultation with senior management, and will meet the operational and business needs of the company.

Cost
The cost of drawing up a Staff Handbook is £250 (ex VAT), payable in advance.
