Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover both W-2 employees and subcontractors?+
This handbook is written for W-2 employees. It includes a worker classification section to help you avoid misclassification claims. Subcontractors should have their own agreements. Don't cover them in your employee handbook.
Is this a training manual?+
No. A handbook sets the rules: pay, time off, safety, conduct. A training manual teaches the job. Crews need both. This gives you the handbook.
Does it include OSHA-required policies?+
Yes. Your handbook covers injury and illness prevention, hazard communication, PPE, and incident reporting, aligned with OSHA standards. Keep a separate Safety Manual for the detailed procedures too.
What about drug testing for safety-sensitive positions?+
Yes. In the questionnaire, you say whether your company drug-tests. The handbook then adds a clear drug and alcohol policy for safety-sensitive roles.
Is this customized to my state?+
Yes. You pick your state in the questionnaire. The handbook then includes your state's labor laws, workers' comp rules, and at-will language. We cover all 50 states.
How long is the finished handbook?+
It runs 60 to 80 pages across 17 sections. Length depends on your answers. More policies mean more pages.
Can I edit the handbook after it's generated?+
Yes. Edit any section in the online editor before you download. You also get a Word (.docx) file, so you can change it anytime.
