Employee Handbook Support for Employers

At Citation, we provide employee handbook support and work with you to create clear, legally compliant employee handbooks that are bespoke to your business, industry and objectives.

So, whether you’re looking to create a brand new employee handbook, or simply update your current one, our team can provide 24/7 support and advice.

Employee handbooks are a great asset as they offer clear, practical solutions to common workplace problems. It’s also a legal requirement to keep all of your key company policies and procedures in writing. Adding these to your employee handbooks ensures everyone is up-to-speed on your policies, whilst remaining legally compliant.

The benefits of an employee handbook

Whilst it’s not a legal requirement to have an employee handbook, creating one can benefit your organisation in many ways. Some of these benefits include:

• Employees understand exactly what’s expected of them
• Staff understand the bigger picture of what they are working towards
• You have a written reference if rules aren’t followed
• Greater protection when handling employee grievances
• Saves time answering employees’ questions

Your employee handbook contents

Employee handbooks usually vary between businesses. This is because different organisations will have different processes and policies for employees to follow.

Typically, they explain your company policies on things like:

• Holiday entitlement
• Sickness absence
• Reward schemes
• Discrimination
• Disciplinaries
• Parental leave
• Working from home
• Notice periods
• Grievance procedures
• Performance and appraisals
• Health and safety

Employee handbook contents should always be tailored to your business needs. They can also talk about your business’s ethos, values and ambitions.

The best employee handbooks will support your HR department’s inductions, training and will provide staff with all the information they need to carry out their job in a compliant and effective way.

We’ll help you create compliant employee handbooks

Your handbook should be a useful, informational resource for your new and existing employees, however, it also must be compliant with the latest HR legislation too. That’s where we come in.

Our team can make sure all of your company policies are watertight, up-to-date and easy to understand. This can help you to avoid costly litigations and disputes further down the line.

We’ll then collate all of this information in your employee handbook so that it’s easily accessible at all times.
