FAQ
California does not require employers to have a handbook. However, if you create a handbook, there are policies that must be included.
The goal is to ensure that your policies are implemented consistently and in compliance across your organization. For example, your employee handbook might outline your organization's expectations for employee conduct. Your HR manual would explain the process for dealing with employees who violate the code of conduct.
Failing to have a manual and HR policies is not illegal — it's just irresponsible. If your employer does not provide you with clear-cut employment policies, ask what is expected of you. Record any wrongdoing within the company.
The IRCA discrimination provisions do not apply to employers with three or fewer employees, but employers should not view that as a license to discriminate. State laws against discrimination on these bases often apply to all employers, regardless of how many employees they have.
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.
Most employers are surprised to learn that California does not require companies to have an employee handbook. However, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) requires that California employers with at least five employees distribute written harassment, discrimination, and retaliation prevention policies.
Templates are simply pre-made roadmaps that outline for you what your employee handbook should include. A template typically has sections such as organizational structure, performance management, compensation plans, benefits policy, safety protocols, and disciplinary procedure.

Here are some suggested categories to include in your handbook: Include your company's mission statement. Write a brief section on company history. State any legal declarations. Explain your dress code. Include details about work hours. Define duties. Include department-specific policies. Describe company benefits.
