FAQ
Can You Fire Someone for Not Signing The Employee Handbook? No, an employee cannot be fired for not signing an employee handbook. However, employers may require employees to sign the handbook as a condition of employment and can take disciplinary action if they refuse to do so.

Unfortunately, with only extremely rare exceptions, it is not illegal for an employer to violate their own handbook policies.
Are employee handbooks required by law? It's not legally required to provide an employee handbook.
Most employers are surprised to learn that California does not require companies to have an employee handbook.
Most employers are surprised to learn that California does not require companies to have an employee handbook.
Generally speaking, an employee handbook is not a legally binding contract unless it explicitly states that it is. However, certain statements in the handbook can be interpreted as contractual promises if they are specific enough and imply mutual obligations between employer and employee.
And if your company doesn't have a handbook, managers and employees will need to rely on the company's “institutional memory” to ensure that policies are consistently applied. Work policies and expectations also take on more importance and are more likely to be followed when you codify them in an official handbook.
While there is no specific law on the federal level that requires employers to create an employee handbook, certain labor regulations may apply if you choose to create one.
The topics included in the employee handbook should cover the employer's mission statement, equal employment opportunity statement, contractual disclaimer and at-will employment statement (where allowed), purpose of the employee handbook, and background information on the company.
