2、SAMPLEPrinting Industries of California (PIC) recognizes the value of well-written company personnel policies and procedures. Over the years PIC has published sample employee handbook language covering basic employment policies. Members have used this language as a guide in creating written policies
3、 and procedures covering the companys employment practices and philosophies.This publication, like others before it, does not claim to be all-inclusive or a final product. New State and Federal laws and legal decisions will require this sample to be updated, along with the companys employee handbook
4、, to reflect these changes. Further, each company must develop an employee handbook, which reflects the employment practices unique to the companys operation and philosophies. Consequently, a publication such as this sample must be flexible and open ended to accommodate these differences in employme
5、nt practices and philosophies.In initiating or revising your company personnel policies or employee handbook, do not hesitate to call Doug Moore, Vice President of Human Resources, for assistance.Although an effort has been made to provide sample language, which is consistent with applicable law, em
