Who should use this template?
This manual is designed to be used by any small business owner or operator who employs
people in their business.
Why use a HR policy and procedure manual?
In short this manual helps you to establish robust structure and a basic set rules that you will
use to manage your people on a day to day basis.
This is important because using a structured approach from day one will help you to ensure:
that: you meet your basic legal obligations
that you help your people managers to make consistent and reliable decisions – this
promotes a culture of fairness
that you have established a clear understanding of expectations, rules and
consequences
that you welcome and introduce your employees to your business and their new job
It takes some effort to complete, but brings definite long-term benefits as it will minimise the
incidence of people reverting to their own set of rules which in turn reduces disputes or
grievances caused by confusion, and it adds to the overall professionalism of your business
operations.
