Employee Handbook?

[CARMandP]

My shop is growing and I need to make/write a specific employee handbook. Does anyone have a copy of their handbook that you would be willing to share so I can read through one and make sure I have all my basis covered? Email to me if you would like. [email protected]

 

Thank you for your help. I highly value the input you guys have on this site.

I also would like a copy of your handbook if you'd be willing to share. I will be putting together our first handbook and would love a sample.

 

Thank you

I am also going to have to write a handbook this year. Any and all samples of what you have would be great as a primer.

Thanks,

Strongly advise you get professionals involved. It's a legal document with tentacles into wage/hour, EEO, ADA. In Virginia, membership in the Virginia Automotive Association gets you free counseling from SESCO. ATI offers the same as I'm sure a number of organizations do. SESCO will give you a framework to bulid your manual on, or they will do it for you. I used their framework and I'm sure it doubled the size of the document I had developed. SESCO is also a great ally in wage/hour disputes, disputed terminations, etc.

We are currently down to just myself and the owner (I'm the service advisor/office manager - although I also owned my own shop for 13+ years). After having an issue with the two techs that were here we are now in a rebuilding phase. We are doing ok for now and are in the process of looking for a good A tech and a lube tech that is willing to learn and grow with the company. Its hard finding decent employees.

 

Before we hire anyone new, I want to make an employee handbook as well. The one he had made up was just a 2 page word document. Not enough! I know to make sure things are legal for my state, but seeing examples of what other places have that I can tweak and adjust would be super helpful!

Hi all-

new to this site and forum but can already tell it will be invaluable. We have a handbook that I've built over time (after experiencing many an HR mistake) but I am learning it is still not detailed enough as we just had to pay out 2 weeks vacation pay to someone who left us with no notice. Could have been avoided if I had it in the handbook that they 1) use it or lose it (my state allows that) and 2) don't get vacation pay without two week notice...

anyway, hard lesson. We just dumped a ton of money into the shop so I'm trying to avoid an attorney, plus they don't always know the nuances of auto body. If anyone would like to share what they have or have received from others, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm happy to share mine as well, but as stated, I have found it is no way comprehensive.

Thanks in advance!
