This document provides an example of the table of contents of an employee handbook,
and illustrates important subject areas that should be included in the handbook. An
employee handbook serves as an orientation manual by providing a new employee with
information about the employer such as company policies and procedures. A handbook
can also help protect the employer from legal liability. Employers should have an
employee handbook available before they hire new employees.
