Employee Handbook Review: Can You Spot Any Needed Corrections?

Dear All,

I am posting the employee handbook. Please review it, and if you notice any corrections that need to be made, kindly inform me.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Umesh, after reviewing your attachment, here are my observations:

1. Typographical Error
- On the first page, "Policies" is spelled as "Politics."

2. Probation & Confirmation
- If the maximum probation period is 6 months, services should either be confirmed in writing or terminated. This clause should also be included in the appointment letter.

3. Prevention of Sexual/Mental Harassment
- Ensure the prevention of sexual harassment of women employees at the workplace.

4. Transfer
- This should be included in the appointment letter as well.

5. Standing Orders
- There is no mention of standing orders or certified standing orders.

6. Safety & Health Policy
- There is no mention of a safety and health policy.

7. Maternity Leave
- This should be updated as per recent amendments.

8. Short Leaves
- Employees are eligible for a short leave of 2 hours twice a month for any exigency. They are permitted to avail of a 2-hour permission (out pass) twice a month with pay for exigencies.

9. Public Holidays
- These should conform to the applicable National & Festival Holidays Act & Rules.

10. Dress Code
- Mention details about footwear, uniforms, etc.

11. Provident Fund (PF)
- Remove the mention that the employee can be exempted from PF by submitting Form 11 to the HR department.

12. Salary Payment
- Remove the statement "Salary is paid by CASH."

13. Retirement Age
- The retirement age for employees is 58 years, and this should be mentioned in the appointment letter as well.

14. Nomination Facility
- For married employees: spouse & children; for unmarried employees: parents.

15. Bonus
- As per The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 & Rules, 1975, remove the mention of a maximum bonus of Rs 25,000/-.
