Instructions on Compiling Your Customized Policy & Procedure Manual
The policies and procedures within this manual are examples of best practices used to guide decision making by management and accountability for employees. The manual has been developed to allow an employer, depending on the size of the business, to select those policies that are practical to develop a personalize Policy and Procedure Manual. It is important these examples of policies and procedures are used as templates; and then customized to the unique conditions and terminology within each business.
Each of the policies and subsequent procedures has been written as a ‘stand alone’ document so that the user can customize the manual to match the needs of the company. The manual is divided into three parts: Legislatively Required Policies and Procedures, General Policies and Procedures and Human Resource Policies and Procedures. It is highly recommended that all businesses incorporate the Legislatively Required Policies and Procedures into their manuals.
Once you have downloaded the policies and procedures that are important for your business, the following will have to be added:
- Each of the policies should be given a number. The first policy in Part I: ‘The General Organizational Policies and Procedures’ would start with the Policy 1.0 and the first policy in Part II: ‘Human Resource Policies and Procedures would start with 2.0;
- Add a ‘footer’ with your company logo (if desired), date and page numbers. Once the pages are numbered the Table of Contents can be updated with the page numbers;
- When there is parenthesis { }, company specific information will need to be added.
