Any business that plans to hire employees must have an Employee Handbook in place. For small businesses, this is often overlooked. Business owners don’t realize the thought process of employees and assume that they will put as much effort into the business as the owner.
Finding and hiring the right employee is a difficult task and requires a lot of your time that you don’t have, that’s why you are trying to hire someone so you can work ON your business, not IN your business. The methods to find and hire employees will be covered at another time.
An employee manual or handbook lists the rules that everybody will play by. Can you imagine playing football, driving a car or paying taxes without any rules in place? That’s what you would be doing if you hired an employee without the proper handbook.

Let’s take an example of an employee you hired that was a few minutes late once or twice a month, maybe missed a shift or left early. If you determined that you could not continue to run your business with this uncertainty and constantly had to find another employee to cover or do it yourself, What would you do? Without a handbook that clearly states the attendance requirements, there are no rules.
If you let that employee go and receive a letter from the State (or an attorney) to provide the reason for termination, What would you do?
A good Employee Handbook lists out all of the rules of employment. This would include attendance, use of company equipment, company Mission statement, customer expectations and other details that allow you and all of your employees to know what is expected from each other.
Below you will find a link to purchase a copy of the Employee Handbook that I use at my laundry, Washin Golden Springs Coin Laundry.

The file is written in Word and explains how to easily insert your company’s name into the document. You will need to confirm that it meets the requirements of your City, County, and State.
This Handbook also covers items that, although not required by law in a Handbook, clearly set out the expectations of the employees’ while at work.
Congratulations on taking the right steps and we would like to wish you Good Luck in building your business.
