Employee Handbooks

An Employee Handbook That Protects Your Business and Supports Your People

A well-written employee handbook is more than just a document — it’s your opportunity to set clear expectations, promote consistency, and reduce risk across your organisation. At Amica HR, we create tailored handbooks that help you stay legally compliant, support your workplace culture, and empower your team with the knowledge they need.

What Is an Employee Handbook and Why Does It Matter?

An employee handbook outlines the key policies, procedures, and expectations within your business. It acts as a reference point for your staff and protects you as an employer by ensuring everyone understands their rights and responsibilities.

Without a clear, up-to-date handbook, you could be exposing your business to unnecessary risk, including:

• Inconsistent management practices

• Misunderstandings around employee entitlements

• Legal disputes and tribunal claims

• Non-compliance with current UK employment law

That’s where we come in.

Bespoke Handbooks, Built Around Your Business

We don’t use off-the-shelf templates. Every handbook we create is tailored to your organisation – your structure, your industry, and your people. Whether you need a full rewrite, a legal update, or a completely new handbook from scratch, our expert consultants are here to help.

Our employee handbook typically covers:

• Contracts of employment and working arrangements

• Disciplinary and grievance procedures

• Sickness and absence policies

• Health & safety obligations

• Equality, diversity, and inclusion

• Data protection and GDPR

• Remote and hybrid working

• Social media and IT usage

• Anti-harassment and bullying

• Family leave policies (maternity, paternity, adoption)

• Menopause and wellbeing guidance
  …and more, depending on your needs.

We make sure every policy is legally sound, easy to understand, and aligned with your values.

Need to Update an Existing Handbook?

With employment law changing frequently, handbooks can quickly become outdated, and that may put your business at risk. If your handbook hasn’t been reviewed in the past 12–18 months, now is the time to act.

We offer fast, fixed-fee updates and risk reviews to ensure your documents stay current and compliant. Get in touch today.
