What Are HR Policies and SOPs?
An HR policy communicates the organization’s principles, expectations and direction regarding an employment-related subject.
An HR procedure or SOP explains how the policy is implemented, including responsibilities, process steps, required approvals, timelines, records, escalation and exceptions. An employee handbook may consolidate policies and workplace information in an accessible format.
Policies should be reviewed against current applicable legal and regulatory requirements by appropriately qualified professionals where legal interpretation is required.
Possible Policy Areas
- Recruitment
- Employment conditions
- Working hours
- Leave
- Conduct
- Performance
- Learning
- Employee concerns
- Workplace behaviour
- Separation
- Information confidentiality
- Use of organizational resources
