Welcome Page

Take out "On behalf of" begin immediately with "We welcome you

Begin next section-> "This handbook has been developed to outline the

expectations of all employers as well as the policies, programs, and

benefits available to eligible staff.

Introductory Statement

This handbook is designed to acquaint you with (insert "the") Ebenezer

Child provide you with information about the working conditions,

employee benefits, and (omit "some of the") policies affecting your

employment. Please read, understand, and comply with all the provisions of

the handbook, which describes many of your responsibilities as an employee

and outlines the programs developed by ECDC to benefit its employees. Once

of our objectives is to provide a work environment that is conducive to

both personal and professional growth.

*Break this sentence up into two. * As the ECDC continues to grow, the need

may arise to adapt and change accordingly. The Center reserves the right

to revise, supplement, or rescind any policies or portion of the handbook

from...etc.

Employee Acknowledgement Form

In 2nd Paragraph( All revision(s) ( insert "s" at the end of revision.

Table of Contents

There should be consistency in the lettering/numbering of the items

that are listed below certain sections. This numbering or lettering should

also reflect in the document. I think roman numerals would be better than

just letters.

After reading it through, maybe omit the numbering/lettering altogether

unless necessary with the specific sections. Do not mark them as such in

the table of contents.

The ordering should be changed. The Discipline, dismissals, and grievances

section should be at the end of the handbook.

First should be the New Employees Requirements, then Staff Guidelines

/Policies, followed by Compensation, then Benefits, and concluding with the

Disciplinary section.

Calendar

This calendar should be comprehensive of the year's operational dates, in

addition to the closure dates.

Include at the bottom of the page the dates that the Center will be closed.

A page just of closures seems almost unnecessary; having an operating

calendar makes more sense to me.

Policies and Procedures for Discipline, Dismissal, and Grievances of

Employees.

Six month probationary period? It takes that long to see if someone is fit

for the position? While we're on the subject, "month" does not need to be

plural

C. What is unacceptable conduct? Clarify and explain exactly, especially as

it pertains to those being served by the Center.

E. "Affected Employee Pursuant" feels redundant, get rid of pursuant, as

I'm sure it's not a real word.

Maybe clarify that the "time limits" will be discussed. Or maybe

actually introduce that there is a time limit in place for filing an

appeal. (This is before the second sentence of the first paragraph of this

section.

Where should the employee send or and in the appeal? Give this

answer.

*If the employee is not satisfied with the initial decision of their

written appeal, the employee may present a written request for a hearing

before the Board of Directors. In the next sentence " and/or why the

initial decision of the officials should be changed" this is how the fist

two sentences should read it's less colloquial.

Compensation

Time off- how much advance notice should an employee give?

Benefits

Asterisk next to the programs that require contributions from the

employee
