Creating an Employee Handbook: What Essential Topics Am I Missing?

I am working with an IT company and was asked to prepare an employee handbook. I took up the assignment and am currently working on that. I have included some points from my HR Magazines. Any other points to be included in the list are:

1. New Employee Orientation
2. Work Schedules
3. Identification Cards
4. Medical Screenings
5. Regular Pay Procedures
6. Acts & Omissions
7. Notice Period for resignation
8. Equal Employment Opportunity
9. Standards of Conduct
10. Dress Code Policy
11. Lunch Facilities
12. Transfers & Promotions
13. Performance Reviews
14. Grievance Reviews
15. Breakages and Losses Responsibilities
16. Official Calls
17. Company Vehicles
18. Confidentiality
19. Access to Personal Files
20. Holidays
21. Types of Leaves
22. Bonus Pay
23. Get-Togethers

Friends, are there any more points to be included in the above list?

Dear Jahnavi,

You may also add the following:

- Exit Interview Policy
- Recognition and Reward Policy
- Incentive Scheme (Project completion award???)
- Referral Scheme and any other schemes (Personal, Car, Home Loans etc.)
- Office Romance Policy (if you are having any such issues)
- Training & Development Policy

I have arranged these as they came to mind first. Kindly rearrange them as per your requirements.

Regards,
Shailendra

I don't think you should add things like incentives, etc., because that is a part and parcel of an HR manual rather than a handbook. A handbook is a condensed version of a manual, and these topics are confidential and need not be disclosed to every individual.
