Frequently asked questions

What should an employee handbook include?

A complete employee handbook covers: company values and culture, work hours and remote policy, PTO and leave policy, expense and reimbursement policy, communication norms, performance review process, and offboarding procedure.

When should a startup create an employee handbook?

Create one before you hire your first full-time employee. Even a short handbook (8–12 pages) sets expectations and prevents policy confusion that scales poorly.

Is this employee handbook template free?

Yes — free to use. Describe your company culture, policies, and values to the AI and it will create a customized handbook.
