Employee Manual
Is an Employee Handbook the same thing as an Employee Manual?
Employee Handbook, Hand Book, Company Policy Handbook, and Employee Manual, are all common terms for the same thing:
A document where you have clearly defined, easy to understand, company / office policy for your organization; including employee code of conduct, equal opportunity and other legal statements, and time-off rules...to name a few.
Our most popular product, a downloadable and customizable Employee Manual (or Employee Handbook), is in use by thousands of satisfied business owners ranging in size from 2 to 200+ employees!
In addition to Employee Manual software, we also offer templates for employee performance evaluation and corrective action; we also produce and distribute training videos on topics such as customer service and employee management.

Meaningful office policies that employees can understand!
(Please note, that while we use the term office policies, many of the policies within our manual template address situations encountered by employees off-site or in the field.)
The office / company policies within our templates are written to be easily understood by all employees, and fair to both the business owner and the employees; the code of conduct list in our manual template is tight; no "bad egg" can get around it; and the time-off (vacation, sick time, etc.) and attendance policies are time tested solid and practical.

What Customers Are Saying
"We had also purchased another product similar in price range thinking we would compare and blend the two to ensure a complete and thorough Handbook.
HRIT was much more professional in appearance and wording and more complete. We eventually discarded the other product using HRIT exclusively. HRIT proved to be an excellent value for our company."

"Thank you so much for the time you took discussing the HRIT Employee Handbook templates with me. I've used the templates for about 2 weeks now, and am impressed with the simple language, ease of use, and extensive categories included.
As an attorney, it is important to have a variety of information readily available to respond quickly to client needs. Your templates allowed me to do just that for a client with employees of various education levels and experience. Thanks, again, for assisting me in meeting client needs."
