I don't ever want to consult an employee handbook. I especially don't want someone to tell me to RTFEH. At Pivotal we have an e-mail alias for making any kind of request that will get routed to the right person and dealt with/responded to quickly. No guesswork required, no flipping through an employee handbook. There's also a person everyone gets assigned that they can go to at any time with questions about how to enter their time, what to do about a bad situation at work, or whatever else they want to talk about. There should always be a person available, not (just) an employee handbook.

There should always be a person available, not (just) an employee handbook. Obviously, but that person isn't omnipotent. Perhaps that person has never taken maternity leave and doesn't know the routines. Having things written down somewhere makes it easier to find and eliminates any guesswork. The other advantage of a handbook is anonymity. Perhaps you want to look up the routines for maternity leave without announcing that you are/plan to be pregnant.
