Small Business HR Policy Manual
Instructions
Assume that you are a member of an
HR consulting team providing human resource management (HRM) consultation for a
new small business that will have 15–25 employees (full-time and part-time).
The business will open soon, and you are now developing a policy
manual/employee handbook.
Select a minimum of 4 issues that
you will want to include in the policy manual. These issues must correspond
with the general topics addressed in the textbook and supported in the research
paper. For each issue, write a relevant policy that you believe would be needed
in your business. This is not to be an all-inclusive policy manual; you are
only providing a few of the elements of a policy manual for the purpose of this
course.
Write your policy for each issue
and format it the way you would like to include it in your policy manual. Write
a policy that is truly meaningful and useful to you and that reflects your
personal philosophy. You are a strategic partner to the business owner and this
must be an area that you want to make sure to cover. However, do not write it
as a contract between 2 individuals. A policy manual is provided to employees
from the standpoint of the organization.
In addition, include a cover page
that is formatted as if the document were an authentic employee manual (i.e.,
do not format the cover page according to current APA standards).
Your submission for the policy
manual must be 5–6 pages in addition to the cover page. Points will be deducted
for each page over the 6-page limit.
(Note: You are encouraged to spend
time researching other policy manuals to develop an understanding of how
material is formatted and presented to potential employees. However, the policy
manual submission must be completely original work. Cutting and pasting or
utilizing content from other sources is not permitted and will be considered
plagiarism.)
Submit the Small Business HR
Policy Manual by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.
