Translating an employee handbook

These days practically all companies have an employee handbook. For those who are unfamiliar with employee handbooks: this handbook contains all the most important company rules, regulations and procedures. These include pension plans, salary scale information and rules pertaining to absenteeism and calling in sick. It also contains examples of employment contracts.

Since companies are hiring more and more foreign workers and employers have a certain obligation to inform their employees of the company’s rules and regulations, many companies choose to have their employee handbook translated into a common language, like English for example.

Our translation agency can assist you with translating this information. Our translators have experience with texts that are targeted towards real human resources policy. Some of our translators even have a degree in human resource studies. The advantage of using a translator with this experience is that we are aware of the ever-changing laws and the associated terminology. Furthermore: it is essential to stay abreast of Dutch law and legal regulations pertaining to this area.

Terminology associated with Dutch law pertaining to reintegration from sick leave, the revolving door principle and other specific regulations require more than simply searching for the English equivalent. The translator chooses the best translation in close collaboration with you and our project manager. We sometimes include a brief description in the translation. A text that your employees do not understand is of no use. We will return the translation to you with comments and remarks so that you can stay up to date with the nuances we add to the text as a result of the differences in employment law.

If you send us the text in MS word, we will return it to you in the same format.

Simply send us your employment agreement, employee handbook, assessment report, psychological profile, hiring letter, job application, CV or employment conditions via e-mail, and we will make sure that you will soon receive a competitive price quote. Also, please specify the target language. If the target language is English, please let us know whether the text should be British or American English.

You can send your text to be translated to email.
