I would like to institute an employee handbook for my restaurant. What is the best way to getting one made up?? Do I need a legal aid? Or do I just sit down myself and write down the job requirements for each position?

There are a few different ways you can go about it.

You can sit down and write one up, but you would be best served by checking your policies with an expert so that you don't inadvertantly violate state or Federal law.

You can hire a consultant to write one for you, to your specifications.

You can look for sample policies on the internet.
