One of the first things you do when you’re a new employee is sit down and go over the rules. Some employers have 100 page manuals while others just have a few standard rules that aren’t written in manuals. These are such basic rules everyone should know them. If you don’t know the basic rules, it isn’t because you live under a rock. Perhaps this is your first job, or you haven’t worked for anyone besides your crazy Aunt Betty. You may have gotten paid well, but let’s be honest cutting grass and running errands for crazy Betty didn’t give you much experience in the workforce. Depending on where you work, the amount of workplace rules will vary. But there are some standard rules that every employer expects. These are the most basic policies that you should always know before you start working anywhere.
