How the template is marked
Every field tells you what to do.
[YELLOW BRACKETED TEXT]
A fill-in field. Replace it with your organization’s information. Many fields include an example after “e.g.”
Blue Drafting Note boxes
Guidance for you as the author. Read each one, act on it, then delete the box before you publish.
Amber Optional Policy boxes
Policies that apply only to some organizations. Keep the section and delete the box, or delete the whole section.
“Option A / Option B” fields
Choose one option, delete the other, and remove the brackets.
Customize in eight steps
From template to your handbook.
- 01Save a working copy and keep the original file untouched.
- 02Replace the core fields first with Find and Replace — company name, HR department, HR email and system names.
- 03Work section by section through the remaining policy choices, such as PTO accrual, attendance points and notice periods.
- 04Decide on optional policies, then renumber sections and update cross-references if you delete one.
- 05Build your State Supplements by duplicating the template for each state where you have employees.
- 06Brand it — add your logo and change colors and fonts by editing the Heading and Normal styles.
- 07Clean up: delete every Drafting Note box, remove the yellow highlighting, then update the table of contents.
- 08Get legal review in each state where you operate, then collect a signed Acknowledgment from every employee.
Field index
233
distinct fill-in fields — 377 placements across the fields that repeat
The Setup Guide lists the fields that appear in more than one place, so replacing those first with Find and Replace saves the most time.

Before you buy
This template is provided for general informational purposes and is a starting point for drafting your own policies. It is not legal advice, and purchasing or using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Employment laws vary by state, city and county, change often, and depend on facts specific to your organization. The State Starter Notes summarize selected requirements as understood in mid-2026 and may be incomplete or out of date. Before using any policy, have it reviewed by a licensed employment attorney in each jurisdiction where you operate.
