Waiting for your reply.

There are so many HR policies, for example: leave policy, overtime policy, travel policy, etc. What is it that you are specifically looking at? Any policy you write for an organization should include the purpose, scope, policy statement, procedures (SOP), and supporting forms if required. Hope this provides clarity. All the best.

The URL below leads to the Personnel Policy of Gorham, Maine, USA. It contains all the elements necessary for a legal and understandable policy. It can be downloaded and modified to suit your purpose.

I would like to thank you so much for this template. Actually, I am working on the policy for my company. However, in this template, you are leaving out the laws (as it depends on each country). So, I need help to know or see a policy template following the laws in Egypt. Can anyone help me, please?

Hi Aarti, the document shared by Mirza is apt and good. It is excellent for reference. Try not to make it look the same.

One of the biggest hurdles people face is when management asks for "HR Policies." Let me share with you that simply a blanket statement is not sufficient. You need to discuss with management and understand what and why before you embark on this journey of creating HR Policies. Most employees jump at the opportunity to do something and realize that what is required and what was created are poles apart. My sincere suggestion is to keep things as simple and clear as possible to start with. You would find loads of downloads of various policies - most of which you may not be in a position to replicate at your end.

Sharing a template that is dated and applicable for a foreign country could be avoided. It would have been great if you had shared templates that you have worked on. Not just Aarti but all others would also have benefited.

@ Narender,

Could you provide details of your existing leave policy and work timings? The policy would differ from organization to organization. Details of working hours, OT payments, etc., would be useful to members who wish to help.

It depends on the company whether to compensate with the available leaves. If your company has that policy, you can compensate the employee.

Good day to all, I am new to this site and have been searching the Internet for information on Human Resource Policies. It's more towards the ever-changing policies in Human Resource. With the introduction of new ideas and the use of technology, there is a need for some policy revisions. This may be applicable to HR in the public sector, with the past HR Policies potentially going out of date.

With some countries reviewing their system of government (some using the term transformation and some using reformation), this usually leads to the modernization of existing HR policies. This is done through formal committees, and some revisions may require the involvement of the leaders of the country (Cabinet or relevant Ministers).

Transformation of Human Resource Management

Is there a thread to discuss the process of transformation from day-to-day business of Human Resource Management to a strategic form of Human Resource Management?

Thank you.

The HR Policy Manual Template is nicely prepared. Once this template is with someone, they would be very comfortable preparing the HR Policy Manual.

Thanks,
