Do I need an employee handbook?

Legally, no.  The State of California does not require you to have an employee handbook.  However, California does require that you have employment policies in place that comport with California law that you provide to your employees.  Further, many municipalities in California have their own specific laws that provide even more benefits to employees than the State of California laws do.  The easiest and most efficient way to do deal with this is with an employee handbook.  We offer a customized employee handbook tailored to the size, industry and municipality of your business.
