The Handbook is intended to inform each employee of his/her responsibilities as an employee and the programs developed for his/her benefit. It is the responsibility of each employee to read the Handbook, familiarize himself/herself with its contents and adhere to Klaben policies and procedures at all times. Although the terrain may vary, the one thing all of our members have in common is a strong work ethic and commitment to their brothers and sisters of Local 1262 — your neighbors who work for such leading supermarkets as ShopRite, Stop & Shop, Acme, Foodtown, Fairway Market, Morton Williams and more.
It is important that every business have an employment policy manual/handbook available to their employees. This helps keep everyone on the same page and held to the same standards.
The following model labor and employment policies are offered to assist employers that are composing their own business-specific employee handbooks. Employers can choose the policies that are applicable to their business, fit their workforce, and use as needed. For instance, FMLA only applies to employers with 50 or more employees, so you may not need an FMLA policy.
These policies were developed to assist employers and employees in better understanding and complying with labor and employment laws and regulations. Employers can copy and paste the model policies that they would like to add to their existing Employee Handbooks or to create their own Employee Handbooks.
When protesting a claim for unemployment benefits on the basis that the claimant was discharged for violating a company policy, the employer must provide details on how the claimant’s actions or failure to act violated which specific policy. Note that policies prohibiting mistakes, accidents, poor workmanship or bad judgment may not provide a sufficient basis for protesting unemployment benefits.
If you have any questions regarding the use of these handbook policy models, please call 573-522-1020.

Your employee handbook allows you to navigate not only your business’ policies, but also your brand and your company’s vision.
While the idea of a “handbook” often conjures up a jumble of jargon and rules, writing one gives you a chance to express how your small business thinks about culture, how you treat your team, and how you celebrate success or endure hardships together. It’s a place to communicate the values that keep you on the path of true north.
Stop And Shop Employee Handbook 2017
We’ve assembled some of our favorite employee handbook examples from companies whose handbooks and culture guides especially bring their voice and vision to life. Some of the examples below are company manifestos more so than employee handbooks—and yes, you can mesh the two—but keep in mind that a handbook has specific requirements it needs to fulfill (which you can learn more about here!).
