Hi skykat-ga,

Thank you for your question. It looks like you are looking for Policy
& Procedures templates for use in your service organization. I found
several companies that specialize in this type of product, whose sole
purpose is selling a complete system of manuals and procedures so that
businesses like yours do not have to reinvent the wheel. Here's what I
found :


===================

would be covered by this Employee Handbook.
