So I’m starting a Human Resources project and basically nothing was in place. I’ve created everything from scratch (most of the forms needed such as no call – no show forms, request for leave, request for time off, discipline, etc...) Anyway, this is the table of contents I’m using for our Employee Handbook. I’m not too concerned about what to say for the topics as I am pulling examples and talking frequently with the owner but I just want to make sure that the topics are covered. Is there anything obvious or major I am missing?

Okay, will get it copied tomorrow. And I will drop you a PM/e-mail on my thoughts. Have had lots of variences in the last 12 yrs with 3 different owners of our company. We currently try to cover guidelines for 2700 employees, 56 distribution centers, 1 manufacturing plant, 38 states, 6 countries, sales (inside and out), and everything in between. Large gray areas (lol). ANd many exceptions based on state guidelines. :thud:
 
Well, I really appreciate it. These are those kinda things that I am the only one doing the physical work on it, yet everyone is telling me what they would like. :rolleyes: Anyway, here's my email. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks again!

how about summer hours? Most companies afford this as a priveledge to those who put in a few extra hours during the week. Our summer hours last from daylight savings to the next changing of the clock. People are out of here by 1 on fridays which is great.
