What’s inside the employee handbook template

Most handbook templates are written for generic offices. This one comes from a working custom home builder, so it’s ready for a construction company with people in the field, on job sites, and driving between them.

7 sections, 45+ policies

Introduction. Welcome, how the handbook works, changes in policy, and employment-at-will.
Employment policies. Employee classifications, equal opportunity and ADA, confidentiality, employment of relatives and minors, personnel records, privacy, and immigration compliance.
Hours and payroll. Pay periods, overtime, rest and meal periods, time cards, deductions, and direct deposit.
Standards of conduct. Anti-harassment, attendance, discipline, dress code, safety, substance abuse, internet and email, social media, and cell phones.
Benefits. Health insurance, 401(k), COBRA, workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance.
Leave and time off. Holidays, vacation and sick pay, family and medical leave, jury duty, and voting time.
Personal vehicle for company use. Requirements and driver safety rules.

Employee acknowledgment page

A signature page at the end, so every new hire signs the handbook as part of onboarding.

Format

Editable Word document (.docx), a PDF copy, and a short instructions guide, delivered as an instant download. Use find-and-replace to swap in your company name, then add your logo and brand colors.

Why builders use it

Consistency. Everyone gets the same answer on time off, phones, and vehicles.
Protection. Written, consistently applied policies are your first line of defense in a dispute.
Faster onboarding. New hires get their first fifty questions answered on day one.

Before you use it

This handbook was written for a company in Texas. Employment rules differ by state, so adjust the policies to fit your company and have your attorney review your final version.
