What is an employee handbook?

An employee handbook is a formal document that outlines a company's policies, expectations, and procedures for its employees. It acts as a resource for both employers and employees by giving crucial details about workplace regulations, benefits, rights, and obligations. Digital handbooks can be easily shared privately using the SSO option or password-protection provided by online employee handbook software.

Make handbooks and other company documents easily accessible

Sometimes, even the most engaging and visually appealing digital handbooks end up forgotten in inboxes, or on some communication channel. Flipsnack offers an easy organization option in the form of digital bookshelves. Create or upload different corporate documents like handbooks, employee benefits guides, training manuals, and add them to the same bookshelf, under a single shareable link.

How to create a handbook

Build, update and customize online handbooks using a single employee handbook software. Flipsnack enables HR professionals and corporate trainers to save time on handbook creation, updates and distribution.

An employee manual is a detailed technical document focused on specific procedures, protocols, and compliance requirements. It serves as a comprehensive reference guide that outlines step-by-step processes and exact policy regulations that employees must follow.
A handbook is a more approachable document that focuses on company culture, general workplace expectations, and high-level policies. It's designed to be reader-friendly and helps employees understand the company's values, mission, and basic guidelines while providing an overview of available resources and benefits.

The best program to use when making an online handbook is Flipsnack, a secure and highly interactive publishing platform. It offers capabilities to work together on corporate documents, optimize training processes, and follow employee progress within the company.

An employee handbook is generally not automatically legally binding as a contract, but it can have legal implications. While courts typically view handbooks as company guidelines rather than contractual obligations, specific policies within the handbook can become legally enforceable if they contain clear promises or commitments about employment terms, especially regarding compensation, disciplinary procedures, or termination policies. To protect themselves, companies often include clear disclaimer statements indicating that the handbook is not a contract and can be modified at any time.
