English-to-Spanish Employee Handbook Translation Services

English-to-Spanish employee handbook translation is a category of service often performed by professional translation companies. The prevalence of Spanish spoken in the US labor force has grown and is projected to increase in the coming years. At nearly 23 million, people of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity represented 15 percent of the U.S. labor force in 2011. By 2020, Latinos are expected to comprise 19 percent of the U.S. labor force, according to the US department of Labor.

Translation companies have native Spanish speaking translators that specialize in translation of corporate policy documents. Employee handbooks have legal significance and so care is essential to ensure an accurate and clear translation.

In choosing a translation company for translation of employee handbooks be sure to verify that the translators will be native speaking in the target language (in this case Spanish). Post-translation proofreading by a second translator is also essential to ensure a high quality translation. In planning for scheduling a rule of thumb is translation of about 2500 words per day.
