Braums Employee Handbook
Braum's benefits and perks, including insurance benefits, retirement benefits, and vacation policy. Reported anonymously by Braum's employees. The Scoop on Braum’s Braum’s Ice Cream and Dairy Storesjust the name conjures up visions of scrumptious ice cream, giant hamburgers, dairy fresh milk, fresh baked goods, even meats, fruits and vegetables.
Here are the policies, procedures, benefits, expectations of the employment relationship, professional behavioral expectations, and more that are often found in an employee handbook. This sample table of contents also covers pay, performance expectations, and legal issues.
Please use these samples as guides for developing the policies and content of your own employee handbook. This table of contents, and the linked policies, articles, and other material may not be reprinted online or used for publication without written permission from Susan Heathfield.
When additional resources are available on the site about a particular handbook item, I have linked additional articles, policies, checklists, and forms here for central interest.
