Beginning a new job!

When I teach this unit, I assign partners to design a new employee handbook.  This way students really read their own handbook as well as their partner's.  Guidelines can vary but the following are included in mine:

• cover with company information
• welcome letter from president or owner
• brief history of company
• an organizational chart
• rules for clocking in and out
• leaving during business hours
• personal calls
• dress code
• smoking
• scheduling
• taking time off
• safety rules
• crime prevention
• employee purchases
• employee discounts
• employee parking
• fire emergencies
• termination of employment
• friends visiting on the job
• sexual harassment
• eating
• job duties of one job
• job procedures
• benefit package of a part-time worker
• and draw a floor plan

After the project is completed I organize a "new employee" meeting and each student must present a rule to the class.
