Translating an employee handbook

These days, practically all companies have an employee handbook. For those who are not familiar with them: this handbook contains all the important rules, regulations and procedures that apply to the company and its employees. For example, a handbook can include the company’s pension plan, information about salary scales and rules pertaining to absenteeism and calling in sick. You might also come across employment agreement templates .

Since companies are hiring more and more foreign workers and employers are obligated to inform them of the company’s rules and regulations, many companies choose to have their employee handbook translated into English..

Our translation agency can assist you with translating this information. Our translators are experienced with texts that are targeted towards the practices involved in human resources policy. Some of our translators have even been educated in human resources management. The advantage of assigning a translator with human resources experience is that we stay up to date on the ever-changing government regulations and the related terminology in this area. Moreover, it is an absolute must to keep up with the Dutch law and legal regulations in this field.

For example, terminology having to do with the Dutch law pertaining to reintegration from sick leave, or the revolving door principle and other typical regulations and laws require a little more than just looking for the English equivalent. The translator chooses the best translation in close collaboration with you and our project manager. We sometimes include a brief explanation in the translation. After all, it is no help to you if your employees still do not understand the text. We deliver the translation with comments or remarks so that you are also aware of the nuances that we add to the text as a result of the differences in employment law.

If you provide the text to us in MS Word, we will return the translation to you in the same format.
