Employee Handbooks

Sample Policies with Legal and Administrative Analysis

The information and samples below can be used to develop, revise, or create a new handbook. We have sample handbooks for Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, along with sample handbooks for the public sector and small employers. There are also individual policy samples with clauses for numerous areas that might potentially be covered in a handbook.  These samples include the most common legal and administrative considerations an employer needs to keep in mind when developing a handbook policy. If you want to learn more about the use or implementation of handbooks at your workplace, we recommend that you start with Initial Design Considerations.​
