DOCUMENT THE WORK
Give Your Team a Handbook
A simple handbook template: expectations, policies, and how you do things
What it solves
When expectations live in your head, every new person learns the rules by guessing. This fill-in template is for small teams that need one place for how you work. You write down who you are, your hours and communication norms, conduct, pay and time off, and the rules that matter.
What this is worth: Consultants build ops and onboarding systems at $150 to $300 an hour.
What is inside
- A who-we-are section for what you do, your mission, and 3 to 5 values.
- A how-we-work section for hours, work location, main communication tool, and reply speed.
- An expectations section covering attendance, conduct and appearance, quality standard, and safety basics.
- A pay and time off section for pay schedule, overtime, time-off requests, and holidays.
- A rules section on phone use, privacy, harassment and respect, and what ends employment.
- A getting-help section naming who to ask, how to report problems, and where SOPs live.

Questions, answered
No, it is a fill-in template. Each section gives you the fields and short prompts, like stating your zero tolerance on harassment in plain words, and you write the answers that fit your business.
The who-we-are section asks for 3 to 5 values, the rules that guide how your team acts, alongside a one-line description of what you do and a mission that goes beyond making money.
The last section answers that. You name who to ask, explain how to report a problem, and point to where your documents and SOPs live, so the handbook connects to the rest of your systems.
