Policy manuals for small business

Question
Why does a small business need employee policy manuals? 
Answer
When you operate your small business without written policies, there is a greater likelihood that employment decisions may be inconsistent, unfair, or even discriminatory. Such practices can result in disgruntled employees, bad morale, and can even lead to potential legal claims.

Having basic policy and benefits information to answer employee questions is much more professional and efficient. In a tight labor market, having professional employment documents will help to make your firm more competitive against the big guys.
