THE RIGHT TEMPLATE

Where it fits

For confirming receipt of a handbook or policy manual. Use the employment agreement or the appointment letter for the terms of the job itself.

A CAREFUL CHECK

Before you rely on it

Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Make sure the handbook itself says it is not a contract where that is your intent, and check local rules on notice of policy changes and on any policy that needs the employee's separate written consent.
