How Do I Draft Basic HR Policies for a Small Chartered Accountancy Firm?

Hi all, I am a new member of this wonderful site. I am working for a C.A. firm. Recently, I have been entrusted with an opportunity to draft the Basic HR Policies for the firm by my Managing Partner. Ours is a Partnership firm of Chartered Accountants with branches in Chennai, Bangalore, and Cochin. I have to draft the policy for the head office, located in Trivandrum. The head office has a staff strength of 15, including the manager, partners, audit staff, administrative staff, and article clerks. We do not have any HR personnel as of now.

Guidance Needed for Drafting Basic HR Policies

Kindly guide me on how to draft the basic HR functions and policies for the C.A. firm.

I am also in a similar position. I can share how I have started, though I am also facing a lot of problems. Firstly, prepare a master data of employees and document all personnel files properly. Take hold of the attendance system. Prepare all the formats like offer letter, appointment letter, salary structure, etc. Keep communicating with the employees regarding the problems they are facing and try to identify the best possible solutions. Discuss with the management on what the appraisal system that you can follow would be. Please let me know if I have missed anything and if you have any suggestions for me as well.

Thanks,
Kirty
