Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before creating your document.
Can this Handbook be customized for different states in India?+
Yes. You can adjust leave entitlements, working hours, and other parameters to align with state-specific Shops and Establishments laws or industry-specific requirements while retaining the core structure.
How often should we update the Employee Handbook?+
You should review the Handbook at least annually or whenever there are material changes in law, internal HR policies, or business practices. Update the version and effective date in the template each time.
Is employee signature on the Handbook acknowledgement mandatory?+
While not always legally mandated, obtaining a signed or electronic acknowledgement is a best practice to demonstrate that employees were informed of the policies and had access to the document.
Does this Handbook replace individual employment contracts?+
No. The Handbook supplements employment contracts. In case of inconsistency, the specific terms of the employment contract or applicable law will generally prevail, unless the Handbook expressly provides otherwise.
