Michelle, I've built mine to a 2-volume set over time by adding a topic as soon as it comes up.  I keep them on my computer in a subdirectory called DeskManual.  Under that I have pages, e.g., like the following:  Accounting, Housekeeping, Travel, Purchasing, Employees, etc.  - - and then I keep them alphabetically, with a table of contents in the front of the book.  In the back, I put business card holders, and I also print out names and addresses sheets related to each topic, keeping those separate from the relevant notes.   For temps, I'd be sure to include what people above said, and then, if it wasn't added, a list of needed passwords, etc.  There is a book I scanned through this week called "The Organizer," and although I do a lot of the things already in there, there was a great tip on a cheat sheet for a temp, which would be something good even if you were just out of the office for a day or two.  Your boss would love you.  You can probably find it through your local library.  The author is a woman; that's all I remember.
