Employee Handbook: Receipt/Acknowledgement Sample

Your handbook acknowledgement must contain this statement:

I have received and I acknowledge that I am responsible for reading (or have read) the XYZ Corp. Employee Handbook and will (do) understand the contents. I will contact my Supervisor to clarify any questions. I will abide by the Company's policies and procedures as set forth in this Handbook or otherwise.

Signature                                Printed Name                                 Date    


I said earlier that a handbook is NOT a DIY project and here's why.

The Acknowledgement, to best protect Company Interests, definitely should also contain these statements:
-"at-will" employment statement

-Company may change policies at any time

-"no employment contract" declaration

-no privacy expectation on Company premises or with Company property
