Does anyone have, and be willing to share, some type of an employee handbook? You know, for rules and regs, conduct, standard operating procedures, etc...

We are thinking of drafting one up, but would rather not re-invent the wheel if anyone has at least some of the fundamentals already written down somewhere.

Christine, last year I decided it was time we had one too.
After spending countless hours trying to make one from scratch, I stumbled across this one.
Only costing $60, I found it was well worth it. Completely customizable for your company, and easy to use.

In my research in starting my own business I came across this:

Although not a copy and paste or insert company name here, I thought it was a great comprehensive overview example type deal

Brian is a good guy with some great stuff for painters. It costs some money but its probably worth the time savings.

Employee manual

I run a commercial painting company. We hired a company called VIA Global. They handle all our HR needs, paint industry specific.
Examples:
Employee manuals
Hiring procedures
Profile testing for new applicants
Job descriptions and training programs
Background checks

They work with the PDCA also.

Their website is http://www.hroutofthebox.

Good luck,
Brian

Nathan,
I started with them about 6 years ago. I think their package is about $ 1,600.00. They had a booth at the PDCA trade show in Vegas. Doug Duncan, the owner, also gave seminars at the show.
If you contact him use my name, Brian Drucks.
I have other paint specific references for you if you are interested. You can reach me in my office at (800)528-9002. My email is [email protected]

Thanks
Brian

I'm not a painting company but I had downloaded a few from the internet and I had thought about buying one... but rather than downloading one and then changing it up... I decided to write it from scratch. It is exactly how I want it to be and it is specific to my current situation and will change as my situation changes. It is VERY time consuming though.

It is VERY time consuming though.

Yeah, thats exactly why I bought mine. Its just too easy to pick and choose what I want, and its all written up already. I only added a couple things I wanted that weren't included.
