Not necessary. It depends upon the professionalism of the establishment. Good and professionally managed companies do issue Employee handbooks, which contain mainly SOPs, HR policies in brief, compensation & benefits, leave policy, and other establishment matters.

I agree with Mr. R.K. Nair.

Yet, the Certified Standing Orders or the Model Standing Orders, in my opinion, serve the purpose of an Employee Handbook as far as the conditions of employment are concerned.

Both experts are correct; there is no legal requirement for issuing an employee handbook. If the standing order is not applicable, the company may or may not issue the employee handbook. This decision completely depends on the company's discretion.
