Dear Viju,
Please start your own Draft HR Manual.
Please list out the requirements, i.e., Objectives, Purpose, Foreword, Staffing, Appointment, Probation and Permanent, Cadre system, Promotion, criteria for promotion, and career growth channel, Appraisal system, and type to be adopted, Training (in-house and outside training) needs, Salary structure, Working hours.
Actions to be taken during Resignation, Retirement, Termination, and removal from service.
Disciplinary cases and how to handle them, Minor punishments, Major punishments, and the circumstances under which they can be given. When and how to take Administrative action or disciplinary action against any defaulters.
Like that within 5 minutes, I can think and write a small note in the above categories, you can create your own by sitting peacefully and develop.
In case of any corrections / Additions / Deletions / Modifications, you can ask for help.
If you ask from the very beginning, it will be difficult for everyone to reply.
I would like to narrate a small story in this aspect.
"In a class, a teacher brought an egg and instructed the students to watch how the baby comes out of the egg by breaking the egg. The egg started crackling, and the teacher told the students to watch and no one will touch, and he went out to attend some other work.
In the meantime, the baby was trying to come out of the egg, for which it was struggling. A student with a soft nature saw that the baby bird was struggling. Hence, he just broke the shell of the egg and released the baby bird from the egg.
When days passed, the bird was unable to fly. The teacher got some doubt and asked the students, while the baby bird came out of the egg, did anybody help the bird. Immediately, a boy stood and told that he only helped the bird.
The teacher got upset and told the students that the boy who helped the bird was not real help; instead, he has spoiled the entire life of the bird. Because if the bird came on its own, its wing will be light, and the body will have the weight. But due to the so-called help done by the student, the bird's body and wings also got weight. So it cannot fly in its lifetime."
Here, I would like to say one thing: you should not ask for help from the beginning stage itself. You try your level best. Wherever you face a problem and get stuck, seek help from others. The others may be your assistants, no matter whoever it may be. Never underestimate your subordinates. Talents may be available everywhere.
Wishing you all the best.
With warm regards,

There is a ton of stuff here already on CiteHR about HR Manuals that has been posted by other members. This same question gets asked at least 2 or 3 times every week! Talk about reinventing wheels all the time. If you are a new member, then please allow me to offer you some advice. Almost everything you want to know about HR is already here. Just use the Download Search Box at the top of the page, and a wealth of material will be yours for the asking. Welcome to the community.

If you borrow and just change it to suit your requirements, it will be an HR manual, no doubt. But if you face a problem later on with it, you will have nowhere to look for help. It is always better to draft one from scratch. Keep the past performances and failures in mind and think ahead to future requirements. Always keep the laws in mind. Get a team of a few enthusiastic persons and divide the job. You just lead them. Work in complete coordination. Bit by bit, it will come together, and you will know what to do in case any exigencies arise later on. Just start putting two and two together. You will come up with a nice piece of your manual, of which you will be proud.
