Staff handbooks

What to include

A staff handbook should bring together any of the employment information that employees need to know which doesn't change too often. 

You should organise your handbook in a way that will help new (and existing) staff easily find the information they need.

Review the handbook regularly, for example every term, to make sure that all the information it contains is accurate and up to date.
