Introduction to The Employee Handbook

There are Federal, State and Local laws that govern an employee’s rights in the workplace and it is the responsibility of every employer to clearly communicate those within their company policies. In addition, in almost every business, there are unique business practices that all employees are expected to understand and follow. Finally most companies also have a unique benefit package which must be effectively communicated. The Employee Handbook section within MyEKC is the one place you can document all pertinent regulations, policies and benefits. It also provides a date stamped record of each employees reading and acceptance of your handbook. The MyEKC Employee Handbook function:

  • Allows for flexibility in content and sections 
  • Is easily created and updated as laws change and the company evolves
  • Is always accessible to your employees online
  • Includes a digital “acceptance” that records each employee’s acceptance date

It may be time to begin transitioning the documentation of your systems to your management team and begin the process of creating your Employee Handbook. Any parts of your current handbook that are digitally available can be easily “cut and pasted” into MyEKC. A complete guide on “how to” do this can be found in the “How To Use” page under the EKC Administration menu.
