Although there is no law that requires a written employee handbook, there are laws that require employers to provide certain information to employees in writing. An employee handbook can be the vehicle to help employers effectively disseminate the required information and fulfill these requirements. Signed acknowledgment forms also provide legal protection for your company in the event of a dispute that involves policies laid out in the handbook.

An employee handbook helps to establish and communicate your company's culture, mission, vision, and values. It should be written in a way that employees can easily understand and connect with these core aspects of the business.
