Dear Suvajit,

The manual policy is an ardous excercise and best way to learn about the practices of the company.

Am giving the basic templates on which policies have to be formulated and you have to observe and ask questions to the relevant department to give the details.

• Purpose and Purview
• General Policies
• Recruiting and Employment
• Transfers, Promotions, Demotions and Reclassifications
• Salary Administration Program
• Position Categories
• Hours of Work and Overtime
• Grievances
• Standards of Conduct and Performance
• Termination
• Vacation
• Holidays
• Absences
• Sick Leave
• Family and Medical Leave Policy
• Employment Related Accident or Illness
• Leave of Absence Without Pay
Equal Opportunity Policy
• Policy on Accommodation for Disabled Persons
• Sexual Harassment Prevention and Resolution
• Policy on Sexual Assault Procedure
• Policy on Alcohol and Drug Abuse and Drug-free Environment
• Smoke-free Policy
• Policy on Software Duplication
• Management and Staff Training Policy

Hope this might be of some help to you.

Regards,

Sanjay Mewar

No one would give their company'es template/sample HR policy, but you can improve what you have with you. Just verify it more than once and check the relevant laws pertaining to that particular policy. And then it should be easy to bring out the necessary changes.

However, these would be general heads under which the policies could be organised.

Corporate Giving
Educational Assistance
Employee Assistance
Flex-time/Alternative Schedules/Telecommuting
Health/Flexible Benefits
Holidays
Leave/PTO/Vacation
Retirement
Miscellaneous

Legal requirements based onlocal laws
Incentive Pay/Bonuses

Employee Relations
Alternative Dispute Resolution/Grievances
Discipline and Standards of Conduct
Employee Privacy
Employee Relations Issues and Policies
Performance Management
Recognition/Awards
Termination/Resignation
Miscellaneous

Health, Safety, Security
Communicable Diseases
Crisis Management/Emergency Preparedness
Drug Testing

Security

Miscellaneous

I am also givng a you wordings on a policy on transfers. You may develop the other policies on similar lines.

TRANSFERS AND PROMOTIONS
XYZ encourages employees to assume higher-level positions or lateral transfers for which they qualify. Toward this end, XYZ has a job posting program that offers employees the opportunity to bid for certain positions within the Company.

Generally, employees must be in their job for at least one year before applying for a change in position. In addition, employees must have a good performance, attendance and punctuality record.

Each employee requesting a transfer will be considered for the new position along with all other applicants.

Each transfer is judged on an individual basis, depending on the needs of both departments involved.

All final decisions regarding transfers will be made by Management, in conjunction with the Human Resources Department.

Employees who wish to apply for a transfer should discuss it first with their supervisor/manager and the Human Resources Department so that it may be determined if their skills fit the requirements of the desired job. Employees should also feel free to discuss their career aspirations with their supervisor/manager or the Human Resources Department at any time.

If an employee fits the basic criteria for the position, the Human Resources Department will make arrangements to set up an exploratory interview with the other department.

Let me know if this has helped ; )
