    ummmm....print it of the internal website?
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    What is so important about its contents that you feel you need a hard copy??
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    What exactly does your contract state about the handbook?

    If it's online and accessible to all employees that will be good enough. All of ours is online only.

    Same here, and I don't have a problem with it.
  • I was off sick for ages and needed to see the Employee Handbook - not easy when it's only available to view at work!

    If you have an HR/personnel department, ask them. Can't see why it's such a problem for you to have one.

    So you couldn't have printed it off before hand?

    If you don't have a hard copy as at the date you started, the content can be changed and you probably don't have a way of proving what was in your contract originally.

    Employee handbooks often contain contractual information (and some which is not).

    I know what's in my contract, I have a hard copy filed at home.
