Agreed.

For instance, for legal / HR purposes, it's important to articulate (and get everyone to acknowledge in signature form) zero tolerance for harassment, and what to do in cases of harassment.

This feels like an extended form of a "mission statement," i.e. these are the values that we want to work by. For that purpose, it's a fine document -- just don't call it an "employee handbook."

I hope zaarly is far enough along to have other docs that do cover the more mundane (but necessary) aspects of employment. If not, they're exposed to unnecessary liability.
