Why YouNeed a BC Employee Handbook Acknowledgment Form?

The Employee Handbook Acknowledgment Form is the most important contractual agreement you have with any Staff member. It protects your company by providing evidence that an individual has read, understood and committed to adhere to all the Conduct Policies in your Handbook.  Having a signed acknowledgment form provides legal protection and helps prevent misunderstandings. A sign-off form is just one part of a strong employee handbook process.

What you risk by not using it.

Staff may not take your Staff Policies seriously if there's no way to prove they've seen them.  A signature not only protects you in the event of litigation, but also ensures that Staff have 'skin in the game'. Non-adherence to Staff Policies can have serious consequences, including discipline or termination of employment. If an individual hasn't signed an Employee Handbook Acknowledgment Form, they can claim they didn't understand your policies or have opportunity to seek legal counsel, making it very difficult for your company to take appropriate action.

• Confirms employees have read and understood the handbook.
• Demonstrates that company policies were clearly communicated.
• Strengthens your position in the event of disputes or terminations.
• Encourages accountability and compliance with workplace rules.
