Dear Sharmila and Ryan,
I am interested in discussing the structure of the handbook. The content is very company-specific. It will start with a short introduction about the company followed by the Code of Conduct. As a startup, you might not need a very detailed CoC, but essential points such as minimum standards for operations, safety measures, and non-adherence standards are crucial.
HR policies such as leaves, performance appraisals, data maintenance, reimbursements, medical and other benefits, dress codes if applicable, and other details such as work timings. Please include guidelines for BYOD and social media. Please keep the content as succinct as possible so that the newly joined employees actually read it.
Do share what more you may wish to add.

Hi Sharmila & (Cite Contribution),
Having worked in a startup and designed its policies and processes, I can confidently tell you that having an employee handbook creates great confidence in new joiners since it shows that processes are put into place.
I agree with the content suggested by (Cite Contribution) and would like to stress that a Code of Conduct is essential since you are building the organization, and by default, its culture. So it's important to specify norms of behavior.
With reference to policy information, this should be a synopsis of the main policy and not the entire content. A new employee should be able to understand what the policy is about and their entitlement within it. Any exceptions should be mentioned in the main policy and not the employee handbook.
You should add a message from the MD/CEO along with the company's vision, mission & values. Values should be clearly explained and linked to the code of conduct.
Hope this helps. Please contact me offline if you wish to discuss this further.
