Policy - this is
how we do it....
Policies and procedures manuals are akin to training manuals in many
respects. Training manuals let employees know what is expected of them
just as procedures manuals do. Policy manuals, however, let employees know what they can
expect from the company.
A formal manual does a lot
more for a business:
 A
Policies & Procedures Manual creates uniform
standards of operation.
A
Policies & Procedures Manual provides direction for management.
A
Policies & Procedures Manual
sets the tone of the company for
fair treatment of all employees.
No
company begins with the thought of an employee lawsuit. However, in 2007, the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S.
Department of Labor recovered over $220 million in back wages for more
than 341,000 employees. These numbers do not include employee lawsuits
filed in individual jurisdictions or the enormous amount of money
awarded in the process. Even if the company wins the lawsuit,
the cost in time and attorney's fees can be devastating.
Documentation to protect a company, includes a policies and
procedures manual, prepared and accessible to everyone from HR and top
executives through managers, supervisors and front-line employees.
A policy manual not only demonstrates and ensures the company's commitment to fair
treatment of everyone, but helps toward building the trust employees
need to have for their employer.
The
Pen Pusher is NOT a substitute for sound legal counsel. But...The Pen
Pusher can provide your company with a professionally written policy and
procedures manual for the benefit of you, your business and your
employees.
