New Hire Info

[Help me]

I am the new HR person for a small company (no HR experience). I need to
supply new hires with a company folder with all the information they need as
new hires. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should include in
this folder? I have our insurance info and a list of holidays? Any
suggestions????

Do a little homework on HR organizations. My best friend has been in the
field for years and she tells me there is a large community out there. You
just need to know where to go. I also know that you had better have
something of a legal background. A list of holidays and insurance bennies is
*not* nearly adequate.

(And after listening to her issues I have to ask you - ARE YOU NUTS???)

(BTW -this is really not the right newsgroup for this information.)

I contacted my friend and she sent me the list of the following (she was
talking about a past employer and her current):

At GD - I would have the vacation policy, attendance policy, brief company
history, benefits, holidays, and safety.
At RRD - we have safety, eeo statement, ethics, harassment, workplace
violence, brief company overview, benefits, holidays, vacation, attendance,
and plant rules.
I'd like to see.... list of contacts of "go to people" like HR, safety,
supervisors, etc
