- Employees handbook : is a note give to new \\ interviewed employees who we intend to hire them , this note clear general information about the company , and activities with procedures. so its pre-action before hiring or interviewing someone .
- Employees Policy : is a procedures , activities , behaviors , actions , should the employees (new\\old) be followed , its like a code of conduct for company values .
I am sorry am not expert in HR .
An employee handbook is written with employees as the intended audience. It is most often written using a straightforward layout for easy referencing of company policies and procedures and is a vehicle for familiarizing employees with basic company policies and benefit programs, as well as the general expectations of the company, including acceptable and unacceptable behavior and disciplinary measures.
A policies and procedures manual is a comprehensive text that details every aspect of company policy, the procedures for following those policies and the forms needed to complete each process. A policies and procedures manual is a reference tool for managers and supervisors. This tool is much more complete in detail than the employee handbook and should be used for back-up when more information is needed to explain a policy or when a deeper understanding of a process is desired. As a benefit to management, the manual can contain references to federal and state laws that correlate to each policy. Managers and supervisors then have access to the rationale for the policies, thus providing them with assistance for enforcement.

HANDBOOK : describing the organization such as vision , strategy , goals & objectives for the new employees
POLICY MANUAL : is devoted the human resource aspects of the organization containing the rules and benefits and help the employee to understand the expectation and the framework of rules he must operat in
The employee handbook is an important opportunity to ensure employees understand the company’s expectations and where to find general information. It is essential for the employer to put things in writing to add clarity and unity of purpose to the company mission and philosophy. The employee handbook is best written using a straightforward language and organized for easy referencing of company policies. It is an important tool for familiarizing employees with basic company policies and benefit programs, as well as the general expectations of the company, including acceptable and unacceptable behavior and disciplinary measures. An employee handbook has relevance to every employee of the company regardless of position, title or job duties.
Employee handbooks contain important federal and or statewide employee notification such as employment at will statement, equal opportunity statement, non-harassment policy and zero tolerance substance use policy, to name a few. It is important to recognize that as such, the manual may also be viewed by employment law enforcement agencies, and careful review should be given to its creation.
Employee handbooks usually include a general description of employee benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, and retirement plans, with position specific details provided separately. General employee behavior is also found in an employee handbook such as acceptable clothing, how work time and paid time off are calculated; how meals and breaks are managed and the like.
Employee handbooks are very useful in managing all staff expectations and behavior and a primary source of documentation that your company is in compliance with all federal, state and local employment laws.
Besides delivering a clear message to your employees regarding work habits and expectations, your employee handbook also serves to limits your legal liability as it sets forth standard practices for all to follow; helping to protect the company against discrimination and unfair treatment claims. The handbook is an administrative time saver – answering questions that arise during the normal employment relationship and orienting new staff consistently.
On the other hand, a procedure manual is a comprehensive text that details every aspect of specifically how you want work to be done. This tool is much more detailed than the employee handbook and should be used for backup when more information is needed to explain a rule or when a deeper understanding of a process or procedure is needed.
In your operation, you may have a back office procedure manual that details how to process payroll, how to submit invoices, how to order office supplies or how to handle a request for Family Medical Leave. As a benefit to management, the procedure manual can contain references to federal and state laws that correlate to each policy. Managers and supervisors then have access to the details and requirements for the policies, providing them with assistance needed to enforce rules or educate employees.
Your Procedure Manual may list specific expectations of a particular job, for example a receptionist, such as how to sort the mail; how to report a customer complaint; or how to properly complete and document a fire drill. This uniformed information for running your business is very important and often very individualized. You may even be required to have different procedures for the same event because of variables in contracts or customer requirements.
Your procedure manual is akin to a playbook …..while the rules are the same for all teams ( yards to a first down) how you get there may be unique to your team.
So, now that we have a clear understanding of the difference between an employee handbook and a procedure manual, let’s discuss how they can work in tandem with each other. We will start with a simple example…Time Records.
Time Records Employee Handbook
Time records are legal documents and the basic source of information for payroll purposes; therefore, time worked must be reflected accurately. Falsification of time or unauthorized submission is a serious offense and may result in termination. It is your responsibility to sign your time record to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. Any errors in your time record should be reported immediately to your Supervisor, who will attempt to correct legitimate errors.
