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.
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.
