An employee handbook is a comprehensive guide that benefits both employers and employees in several ways. Employees gain clarity on expectations, company policies, and their available benefits. Meanwhile, employers establish a framework for consistent workplace practices, thereby minimizing the risk of misunderstandings.

Understanding and following the finer details of state-specific variations, like paid sick leave or overtime eligibility, is essential for ensuring compliance.
