Almost every larger employer will have an employee handbook which they distribute to all employees when they join the company. This handbook will outline the policies and expectations of the employees and the company regarding a wide variety of areas. By clearly communicating up front what is expected and what is provided, there is less chance of miscommunication and disgruntled employees.
Typical entries in your handbook will include:
Office hours
Dress code
What can result in termination including non authorized use of the internet and email for personal reasons
Sick and vacation time and how to request time off
Overtime pay and who is eligible
Travel and reimbursement procedures
Non discrimination policies
Overview on all benefits including retirement plans (401K) and pre-tax health payment options such as section 125 plans including any vesting schedule
Health insurance benefits
Smoking and drug use policy
Emergency contact information and what to do in the event of an emergency
