	Employee Handbooks Make Sense For Small Employers By Phillip M. Perry Every driver needs to know the rules of the road. And every employee needs to understand your workplace policies. That’s why your small business needs a handbook that tells employees everything they need to know. “Employee handbooks are critical in this day and age,” says Gene Fairbrother, the lead small-business consultant for the National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE). “The No. 1 cause of rifts between employer and employee is miscommunication and lack of communication. A good handbook really helps people understand business guidelines.” Employee handbooks answer questions such as: How are performance reviews conducted? What are the penalties for being late? What should I wear to work? How much vacation do I get and how do I apply for it? This seminar shows how to put together a handbook that helps your employees perform better and protects your business from costly discrimination lawsuits.
